Hi, Luis:
  I will update the description and resend v2. Our fuzz testing reported a
"KASAN: use-after-free Read in firmware_fallback_sysfs", I checked the code in
the entire drivers/base/firmware_loader/ directory. Other than this race, there's
nothing suspicious, maybe it's just that I didn't find. It's hard to explain
the UAF call trace, so I didn't attach it to avoid confusion.

The following is the complete exception information:

platform regulatory.0: Direct firmware load for regulatory.db failed with error -2
platform regulatory.0: Falling back to sysfs fallback for: regulatory.db
