[PATCH] Input: ims-pcu - fix use-after-free in probe error path
From: Zhian Liang
Date: Mon May 25 2026 - 11:14:59 EST
If the driver fails during init (e.g. in ims_pcu_init_application_mode),the error path frees the pcu struct without clearing the interface data.
If the device is disconnected while in this state, the disconnect handler will retrieve the stale pointer from
usb_get_intfdata() and trigger a use-after-free
Fix this by setting the interface data to NULL in the probe before freeing the pcu struct.
