4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Corey Minyard <cminyard@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 0745dde62835be7e2afe62fcdb482fcad79cb743 upstream. The SSIF driver was removing any client that came in through the platform interface, but it should only remove clients that it added. On a failure in the probe function, this could result in the following oops when the driver is removed and the client gets unregistered twice: CPU: 107 PID: 30266 Comm: rmmod Not tainted 4.18.0+ #80 Hardware name: Cavium Inc.
