Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

media: i2c: max9286: fix kernel oops when removing module

When removing the max9286 module we get a kernel oops:

The Oops happens because the I2C client data does not point to
max9286_priv anymore but to v4l2_subdev. The change happened in
max9286_init() which calls v4l2_i2c_subdev_init() later on...

Besides fixing the max9286_remove() function, remove the call to
i2c_set_clientdata() in max9286_probe(), to avoid confusion, and make
the necessary changes to max9286_init() so that it doesn't have to use
i2c_get_clientdata() in order to fetch the pointer to priv.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-49509 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
