mei_device lifetime was managed by devm procedure of parent device. But such memory is freed on device_del. Mei_device object is used by client object that may be alive after parent device is removed. It may lead to use-after-free if discrete graphics driver unloads mei_gsc auxiliary device while user-space holds open handle to mei character device. Connect mei_device structure lifteme to mei class device lifetime by adding mei_device free to class device remove callback. Move exising parent device pointer to separate field in mei_device to avoid misuse. Allocate character device dynamically and allow to control its own lifetime as it may outlive mei_device structure while character device closes after parent device is removed from the system. Leave power management on parent device as we overwrite pci runtime pm procedure and user-space is expecting it there.

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 reStructuredText 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.
