5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Xu Yang <xu.yang_2@xxxxxxx> commit 1c9be13846c0b2abc2480602f8ef421360e1ad9e upstream. In current design, usb role class driver will get usb_role_switch parent's module reference after the user get usb_role_switch device and put the reference after the user put the usb_role_switch device. However, the parent device of usb_role_switch may be removed before the user put the usb_role_switch. If so, then, NULL pointer issue will be met when the user put the parent module's reference. This will save the module pointer in structure of usb_role_switch. Then, we don't need to find module by iterating long relations.
