Re: [PATCH v4] net: ravb: Fix possible UAF bug in ravb_remove

[Zheng Hacker]

Hi everyone,

After reviewing all comments about the patch. I agree with Jakub. But
adding reference on net_device is a big move. All related drivers must
modify the code.
For now, I couldn't think a better idea about the fix. Thanks for your
effort and sorry for my late reply.

Best regards,
Zheng Wang
