[PATCH] Input: cyttsp4_core: fix use after free bug

From: Pan Bian
Date: Tue Nov 05 2019 - 01:47:04 EST


The device md->input is used after it is released. Setting the device
data to NULL is unnecessary as the device is never used again. Instead,
md->input should be assigned NULL to avoid accessing the freed memory
accidently. Besides, checking md->si against NULL is superfluous as it
points to a variable address, which cannot be NULL.
