[PATCH] backports: backport drvdata = NULL core driver fixes

["Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@do-not-panic.com>]

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@do-not-panic.com>

The Linux kernel had tons of code which at times cleared the
drvdata upon probe failure or release. There are however a bunch
of drivers that didn't clear this.

Commit 0998d063 implmented clearing this upon device_release_driver()
and dealt with probe failure on driver_probe_device(). After this the
kernel was cleaned up separately with *tons* of patches to remove all
these driver specific settings given that the clearing is now done
internally by the device core.

Instead of ifdef'ing code back in for older code where it was properly
in place backport this by piggy backing the new required code upon the
calls used in place. There is a small race here upon device_release_driver()
but we can live with that theoretical race.

Due to the way we hack this backport we can't use a separate namespace
as we have with other symbols.

    device-core: Ensure drvdata = NULL when no driver is bound

    1) drvdata is for a driver to store a pointer to driver specific data
    2) If no driver is bound, there is no driver specific data associated with
       the device
    3) Thus logically drvdata should be NULL if no driver is bound.

    But many drivers don't clear drvdata on device_release, or set drvdata
    early on in probe and leave it set on probe error. Both of which results
    in a dangling pointer in drvdata.

    This patch enforce for drvdata to be NULL after device_release or on probe
    failure.
