From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 123a0f125fa3d2104043697baa62899d9e549272 upstream. The driver was accessing its struct usb_device in its release() callback without holding a reference. This would lead to a use-after-free whenever the device was disconnected while the character device was still open.
