Amit and Johan both reported a NULL pointer dereference in the pmic_glink client code during initialization, and Stephen Boyd pointed out the problem (race condition). While investigating, and writing the fix, I noticed that ucsi_unregister() is called in atomic context but tries to sleep, and I also noticed that the condition for when to inform the pmic_glink client drivers when the remote has gone down is just wrong. So, let's fix all three. As mentioned in the commit message for the UCSI fix, I have a series in the works that makes the GLINK callback happen in a sleepable context, which would remove the need for the clients list to be protected by a spinlock, and removing the work scheduling. This is however not -rc material... In addition to the NULL pointer dereference, there is the -ECANCELED issue reported here: https://lore.kernel.org/all/Zqet8iInnDhnxkT9@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ I have not yet been able to either reproduce this or convince myself that this is the same issue.
