5.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Lee, Chun-Yi <joeyli.kernel@xxxxxxxxx> commit 9c33663af9ad115f90c076a1828129a3fbadea98 upstream. This patch adds code to check HCI_UART_PROTO_READY flag before accessing hci_uart->proto. It fixes the race condition in hci_uart_tty_ioctl() between HCIUARTSETPROTO and HCIUARTGETPROTO.
