From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 93ddb1f56ae102f14f9e46a9a9c8017faa970003 upstream. The driver was accessing its struct usb_interface 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.
