patch "Revert "usb: dwc3: dwc3-qcom: Enable tx-fifo-resize property by" added to usb-linus

[<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    Revert "usb: dwc3: dwc3-qcom: Enable tx-fifo-resize property by

to my usb git tree which can be found at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git
in the usb-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: Revert "usb: dwc3: dwc3-qcom: Enable tx-fifo-resize property by
 default"

This reverts commit cefdd52fa0455c0555c30927386ee466a108b060.

On sc7180-trogdor class devices with 'fw_devlink=permissive' and KASAN
enabled, you'll see a Use-After-Free reported at bootup.

The root of the problem is that dwc3_qcom_of_register_core() is adding
a devm-allocated "tx-fifo-resize" property to its device tree node
using of_add_property().

The issue is that of_add_property() makes a _permanent_ addition to
the device tree that lasts until reboot. That means allocating memory
for the property using "devm" managed memory is a terrible idea since
that memory will be freed upon probe deferral or device unbinding.

Let's revert the patch since the system is still functional without
it. The fact that of_add_property() makes a permanent change is extra
fodder for those folks who were aruging that the device tree isn't
really the right way to pass information between parts of the
driver. It is an exercise left to the reader to submit a patch
re-adding the new feature in a way that makes everyone happier.
