In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
power: supply: bq256xx: drain usb work before freeing the charger
The USB-PHY notifier queues usb work, whose handler calls power supply changed(bq->charger). The reset devm action only unregisters the notifier and was registered before the power supplies, so devm frees bq->charger on unwind before the action runs; a usb work still queued can then dereference it.
Register the reset action after the power supplies, so it unregisters the notifiers and drains usb work before the supplies are released. Initialize usb work and obtain the PHY references before registering the notifiers, so the worker cannot run before the supplies exist.
Found by static analysis.
