From: Wei Yongjun <weiyongjun1@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 0b67808ade8893a1b3608ddd74fac7854786c919 upstream. This driver's remove path calls del_timer(). However, that function does not wait until the timer handler finishes. This means that the timer handler may still be running after the driver's remove function has finished, which would result in a use-after-free. Fix by calling del_timer_sync(), which makes sure the timer handler has finished, and unable to re-schedule itself.
