commit eca21c2d8655387823d695b26e6fe78cf3975c05 upstream.
Several MFD child drivers register their class devices directly under
the parent device. This means you cannot blindly do devres conversions
so that deregistration ends up being tied to the parent device,
something which leads to use-after-free on driver unbind when the class
device is released while still being registered.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
