From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 80cd5479b525093a56ef768553045741af61b250 upstream. The driver was accessing its struct usb_interface from its release() callback without holding a reference. This would lead to a use-after-free whenever debugging was enabled and the device was disconnected while its character device was open.
