[PATCH v3] pps: generators: tio: fix platform_set_drvdata()

From: Raag Jadav
Date: Tue Mar 18 2025 - 07:41:47 EST


platform_set_drvdata() is setting a double pointer to struct pps_tio as
driver_data, which will point to the local stack of probe function instead
of intended data. Set driver_data correctly and fix illegal memory access
by its user.
