Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mfd: cros_ec: Delay dev_set_drvdata() until probe success
If ec_device_probe() fails, cros_ec_class_release releases memory for the
cros_ec_dev structure. However, because the drvdata was already set,
sub-drivers like cros_ec_typec can still retrieve the stale pointer via the
platform device. This leads to a use-after-free when cros_ec_typec attempts
to access &typec->ec->ec->dev on a device that has already been released.
Move dev_set_drvdata() to ensure that the pointer is only made available
once all initialization steps have succeeded.

CWE-416
Use After Free
The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
CWE-476
NULL Pointer Dereference
The product dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid but is NULL.
