In the following code within firmware_upload_unregister(), the call to
device_unregister() could result in the dev_release function freeing the
fw_upload_priv structure before it is dereferenced for the call to
module_put(). This bug was found by the kernel test robot using
CONFIG_KASAN while running the firmware selftests.
device_unregister(&fw_sysfs->dev);
module_put(fw_upload_priv->module);
The problem is fixed by copying fw_upload_priv->module to a local variable
for use when calling device_unregister().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
