[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.7 21/53] spi: spidev: fix a potential use-after-free in spidev_release()

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Wed Jul 01 2020 - 21:36:01 EST


From: Zhenzhong Duan <zhenzhong.duan@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 06096cc6c5a84ced929634b0d79376b94c65a4bd ]

If an spi device is unbounded from the driver before the release
process, there will be an NULL pointer reference when it's
referenced in spi_slave_abort().

Fix it by checking it's already freed before reference.
