[PATCH v1] clk: microchip: fix potential UAF in auxdev release callback

[PATCH v1] clk: microchip: fix potential UAF in auxdev release callback

[Conor Dooley]

From: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@microchip.com>

Similar to commit 1c11289b34ab ("peci: cpu: Fix use-after-free in
adev_release()"), the auxiliary device is not torn down in the correct
order. If auxiliary_device_add() fails, the release callback will be
called twice, resulting in a UAF. Due to timing, the auxdev code in this
driver "took inspiration" from the aforementioned commit, and thus its
bugs too!

Moving auxiliary_device_uninit() to the unregister callback instead
avoids the issue.

Stephen,
Claudiu is on leave at the moment, and although I can push stuff to the
at-91 tree etc, it's probably simpler if you just take this yourself?
