4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Tomas Winkler <tomas.winkler@xxxxxxxxx> commit 34f1166afd67f9f48a08c52f36180048908506a4 upstream. In case a client fails to connect in mei_cldev_enable(), the caller won't call the mei_cldev_disable leaving the client in a linked stated. Upon driver unload the client structure will be freed in mei_cl_bus_dev_release(), leaving a stale pointer on a fail_list. This will eventually end up in crash during power down flow in mei_cl_set_disonnected().
