Subject: [PATCH] usb: typec: ucsi: fix teardown races with late notifications
Date: Thu,  3 Sep 2026 00:03:56 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903030356.58597-1-ivanrwcm25@gmail.com> (raw)

ucsi_acpi_remove() freed the UCSI instance before removing the ACPI
notify handler. A concurrent notify could call into ucsi_acpi_notify()
and use ua->ucsi after it was destroyed.

Clear ucsi->ntfy before disabling PPM notifications and NULL the
connector array after free so ucsi_connector_change() cannot schedule
work on a dangling connector while a backend still delivers events.

Tested: built drivers/usb/typec/ucsi/ with CONFIG_TYPEC_UCSI=m and
CONFIG_UCSI_ACPI=m via docker kbuild; checkpatch clean.
