[  +0.000006] ==================================================================

The reason this is happening is unloading meson-dw-hdmi will cause the
component API to take down the aggregate device, which in turn will cause
all devres-managed memory to be freed, including the struct dw_hdmi
allocated in dw_hdmi_probe. This struct embeds a struct drm_bridge that is
added at the end of the function, and which is later on picked up in
meson_encoder_hdmi_init.

However, when attaching the bridge to the encoder created in
meson_encoder_hdmi_init, it's linked to the encoder's bridge chain, from
where it never leaves, even after devres_release_group is called when the
driver's components are unbound and the embedding structure freed.

Then, when calling drm_dev_put in the aggregate driver's unbind function,
drm_bridge_detach is called for every single bridge linked to the encoder,
including the one whose memory had already been deallocated.

Fix by calling component_unbind_all after drm_dev_put.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-50378 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:
