Summary
gpiolib: fix invalid pointer access in debugfs
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

gpiolib: fix invalid pointer access in debugfs

If the memory allocation in gpiolibseqstart() fails, the s->private field remains uninitialized and is later dereferenced without checking in gpiolibseqstop(). Initialize s->private to NULL before calling kzalloc() and check it before dereferencing it.
