In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: Fix use-after-free with devmspialloc_*
We can't rely on the contents of the devres list during spiunregistercontroller(), as the list is already torn down at the time we perform devresfind() for devmspireleasecontroller. This causes devices registered with devmspialloc_{master,slave}() to be mistakenly identified as legacy, non-devm managed devices and have their reference counters decremented below 0.

Instead, determine the devm allocation state as a flag on the controller which is guaranteed to be stable during cleanup.
