From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@xxxxxxxxxx> There's time between when we locate the relevant descriptor during lookup and when we actually take the reference to its parent GPIO device where - if the GPIO device in question is removed - we'll end up with a dangling pointer to freed memory. Make sure devices cannot be removed until we hold a new reference to the device.
