Subject: PM / devfreq: fix use after free in devfreq_remove_device
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9f3bdd4f937a75c4589a867dc1f8fefe09c1a618;p=linux-beck.git

PM / devfreq: fix use after free in devfreq_remove_device

In devfreq_remove_device, calling _remove_devfreq will also free devfreq.
Don't dereference devfreq->governor->no_central_polling after _remove_devfreq.
