Commit601282d65b("media: pulse8-cec: use adap_free callback") used the adap_free callback to clean up on disconnect. What I forgot was that in the probe it will call cec_delete_adapter() followed by kfree(pulse8) if an error occurs. But by using the adap_free callback, cec_delete_adapter() is already freeing the pulse8 struct. This wasn't noticed since normally the probe works fine, but Pulse-Eight published a new firmware version that caused a probe error, so now it hits this bug. This affects firmware version 12, but probably any version >= 10. Commitaa9eda7612("media: pulse8-cec: close serio in disconnect, not adap_free") made this worse by adding the line 'pulse8->serio = NULL' right after the call to cec_unregister_adapter in the disconnect() function. Unfortunately, cec_unregister_adapter will typically call cec_delete_adapter (unless a filehandle to the cec device is still open), which frees the pulse8 struct. So now it will also crash on a simple unplug of the Pulse-Eight device. With this fix both the unplug issue and a probe() error situation are handled correctly again. It will still fail to probe() with a v12 firmware, that's something to look at separately.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
