Subject: Re: BUG: KASAN: i2c dev use after free

I wasn't trying to fix anything so complicated as this, it was a
more obvious use after free.  It does feel intuitively that we should
call device_destroy() before the cdev_del() so that it's in the reverse
order from how it was allocated but I don't see any reason to think
that will make a difference.
