During unbinding the driver was dereferencing a pointer to memory
already freed by power_supply_unregister().

Driver was freeing its internal description of battery through pointers
stored in power_supply structure. However, because the core owns the
power supply instance, after calling power_supply_unregister() this
memory is freed and the driver cannot access these members.

Fix this by storing the pointer to internal description of battery in a
local variable before calling power_supply_unregister(), so the pointer
remains valid.

Pull HID updates from Jiri Kosina:

 - quite a few firmware fixes for RMI driver by Andrew Duggan

 - huion and uclogic drivers have been substantially overlaping in
   functionality laterly.  This redundancy is fixed by hid-huion driver
   being merged into hid-uclogic; work done by Benjamin Tissoires and
   Nikolai Kondrashov

 - i2c-hid now supports ACPI GPIO interrupts; patch from Mika Westerberg

 - Some of the quirks, that got separated into individual drivers, have
   historically had EXPERT dependency.  As HID subsystem matured (as
   well as the individual drivers), this made less and less sense.  This
   dependency is now being removed by patch from Jean Delvare

 - Logitech lg4ff driver received a couple of improvements for mode
   switching, by Michal Malý

 - multitouch driver now supports clickpads, patches by Benjamin
   Tissoires and Seth Forshee

 - hid-sensor framework received a substantial update; namely support
   for Custom and Generic pages is being added; work done by Srinivas
   Pandruvada

 - wacom driver received substantial update; it now supports
   i2c-conntected devices (Mika Westerberg), Bamboo PADs are now
   properly supported (Benjamin Tissoires), much improved battery
   reporting (Jason Gerecke) and pen proximity cleanups (Ping Cheng)

 - small assorted fixes and device ID additions

<title>power_supply: Change ownership from driver to core</title>

<id>297d716f6260cc9421d971b124ca196b957ee458</id>
<content type='text'>
Change the ownership of power_supply structure from each driver
implementing the class to the power supply core.

The patch changes power_supply_register() function thus all drivers
implementing power supply class are adjusted.

Each driver provides the implementation of power supply. However it
should not be the owner of power supply class instance because it is
exposed by core to other subsystems with power_supply_get_by_name().
These other subsystems have no knowledge when the driver will unregister
the power supply. This leads to several issues when driver is unbound -
mostly because user of power supply accesses freed memory.

Instead let the core own the instance of struct 'power_supply'.  Other
users of this power supply will still access valid memory because it
will be freed when device reference count reaches 0. Currently this
means "it will leak" but power_supply_put() call in next patches will
solve it.

This solves invalid memory references in following race condition
scenario:

Thread 1: charger manager
Thread 2: power supply driver, used by charger manager

THREAD 1 (charger manager)         THREAD 2 (power supply driver)
==========================         ==============================
psy = power_supply_get_by_name()
                                   Driver unbind, .remove
                                     power_supply_unregister()
                                     Device fully removed
psy-&gt;get_property()

The 'get_property' call is executed in invalid context because the driver was
unbound and struct 'power_supply' memory was freed.

This could be observed easily with charger manager driver (here compiled
with max17040 fuel gauge):

Change the ownership of power_supply structure from each driver
implementing the class to the power supply core.

The patch changes power_supply_register() function thus all drivers
implementing power supply class are adjusted.

Each driver provides the implementation of power supply. However it
should not be the owner of power supply class instance because it is
exposed by core to other subsystems with power_supply_get_by_name().
These other subsystems have no knowledge when the driver will unregister
the power supply. This leads to several issues when driver is unbound -
mostly because user of power supply accesses freed memory.

Instead let the core own the instance of struct 'power_supply'.  Other
users of this power supply will still access valid memory because it
will be freed when device reference count reaches 0. Currently this
means "it will leak" but power_supply_put() call in next patches will
solve it.

This solves invalid memory references in following race condition
scenario:

Thread 1: charger manager
Thread 2: power supply driver, used by charger manager

THREAD 1 (charger manager)         THREAD 2 (power supply driver)
==========================         ==============================
psy = power_supply_get_by_name()
                                   Driver unbind, .remove
                                     power_supply_unregister()
                                     Device fully removed
psy-&gt;get_property()

The 'get_property' call is executed in invalid context because the driver was
unbound and struct 'power_supply' memory was freed.

This could be observed easily with charger manager driver (here compiled
with max17040 fuel gauge):

<title>power_supply: Move run-time configuration to separate structure</title>

<content type='text'>
Add new structure 'power_supply_config' for holding run-time
initialization data like of_node, supplies and private driver data.

The power_supply_register() function is changed so all power supply
drivers need updating.

When registering the power supply this new 'power_supply_config' should be
used instead of directly initializing 'struct power_supply'. This allows
changing the ownership of power_supply structure from driver to the
power supply core in next patches.

When a driver does not use of_node or supplies then it should use NULL
as config. If driver uses of_node or supplies then it should allocate
config on stack and initialize it with proper values.
