6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Chenyuan Yang <chenyuan0y@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 19e65c45a1507a1a2926649d2db3583ed9d55fd9 ]
dm is netdev private data and it cannot be
used after free_netdev() call. Using dm after free_netdev()
can cause UAF bug. Fix it by moving free_netdev() at the end of the
function.
This is similar to the issue fixed in commit
ad297cd2db89 ("net: qcom/emac: fix UAF in emac_remove").
This bug is detected by our static analysis tool.
Fixes: cf9e60aa69ae ("net: davicom: Fix regulator not turned off on driver removal")
