Subject: [PATCH 4.14 016/267] Input: cyttsp4_core - fix use after free bug

From: Pan Bian <bianpan2016@....com>

[ Upstream commit 79aae6acbef16f720a7949f8fc6ac69816c79d62 ]

The device md->input is used after it is released. Setting the device
data to NULL is unnecessary as the device is never used again. Instead,
md->input should be assigned NULL to avoid accessing the freed memory
accidently. Besides, checking md->si against NULL is superfluous as it
points to a variable address, which cannot be NULL.
