No, that isn't safe. We have to unregister the device from the SERIO
layer before we do that.
Practically speaking, these remove methods never really ever execute
on sparc64 since 1) sunsu is usually built statically so we can get
a console and 2) hotplug of these devices is basically a non-occurance
as well.
Anyways, I'm going to fix this bug as follows, thanks for spotting it!
--------------------
sunsu: Fix use after free in su_remove().
Real serial port 'up' objects are statically allocated from an
array in the driver. Keyboard and mouse ports, on the other
hand, are dynamically allocated.
Unfortunately, we free these dynamic 'up' objects before we unmap the
I/O registers.
Rearrange su_remove() so that this does not happen.
Noticed by Julia Lawall.
