ns2_drd_phy_probe() schedules driver->wq_extcon (extcon_work), which is
also queued from the ID/VBUS GPIO interrupt handler gpio_irq_handler().
The work handler dereferences the driver data via container_of().

struct ns2_phy_driver is allocated with devm_kzalloc() and the driver has
no remove callback, so on unbind devres frees it after probe's resources
are released. The GPIO interrupts are released with devm_request_irq(),
but free_irq() only stops further interrupts; it does not cancel a delayed
work that is already queued. probe() queues wq_extcon with a debounce
delay before returning, and the GPIO interrupt can queue it too, so on
unbind the pending work can run after ns2_phy_driver has been freed,
dereferencing freed memory (use-after-free).

Register the work with devm_delayed_work_autocancel() instead of
INIT_DELAYED_WORK(). It is set up before the GPIO interrupts are
requested, so on unwind devres frees the interrupts first - after which
the work can no longer be queued - and then cancels the work while the
driver data is still valid. extcon_work() does not re-queue itself, so a
single cancel drains it.

Found by static analysis and code review; not runtime-reproduced (needs
Broadcom Northstar2 USB DRD PHY hardware).
