Subject: [PATCH] char: xilinx_hwicap: xilinx_hwicap: Fix use-after-free in hwicap_open

A race condition may occur if the user physically removes the
xilinx_hwicap device while calling open().

This is a race condition between hwicap_open() function and
the hwicap_remove() function, which may lead to Use-After-Free.

Therefore, add a refcount check to hwicap_remove() to free the
"hwicap_drvdata" structure after the device is closed.
