Subject: [PATCH] usb: phy: fsl-usb: clear fsl_otg_dev after freeing it
Date: Wed,  8 Jul 2026 14:45:49 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260708064549.719147-1-lgs201920130244@gmail.com> (raw)

fsl_otg_dev is a file-scoped singleton pointer and is used by
fsl_otg_conf() to decide whether the OTG device has already been
initialized.

fsl_otg_remove() frees fsl_otg_dev but leaves the global pointer
unchanged. A later bind can therefore see a non-NULL dangling pointer,
skip initialization, and continue using freed memory through the global
fsl_otg_dev pointer.

Clear fsl_otg_dev after freeing it so that a later probe does not treat a
dangling pointer as an initialized device.

Fixes: 0807c500a1a6 ("USB: add Freescale USB OTG Transceiver driver")
