Subject: mcb: remove is_added flag from mcb_device struct
From: Jorge Sanjuan Garcia <jorge.sanjuangarcia@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 0f28ada1fbf0054557cddcdb93ad17f767105208 upstream.
When calling mcb_bus_add_devices(), both mcb devices and the mcb
bus will attempt to attach a device to a driver because they share
the same bus_type. This causes an issue when trying to cast the
container of the device to mcb_device struct using to_mcb_device(),
leading to a wrong cast when the mcb_bus is added. A crash occurs
when freing the ida resources as the bus numbering of mcb_bus gets
confused with the is_added flag on the mcb_device struct.
The only reason for this cast was to keep an is_added flag on the
mcb_device struct that does not seem necessary. The function
device_attach() handles already bound devices and the mcb subsystem
does nothing special with this is_added flag so remove it completely.
Fixes: 18d288198099 ("mcb: Correctly initialize the bus's device")
