Indeed. We even noticed that your patch was incomplete back then but
urgent matters kept us from following-up. Then came holidays and this
simply went forgotten :(

Unfortunately, this is only half the truth. We investigated this further
and there's another bug that got introduced in commit 24d28e4f1271
("Input: synaptics-rmi4 - convert irq distribution to irq_domain"). The
IRQ domain has a UAF issue as well. I'll send the patch soon -- wanted
to do so this week, but, again, more urgent matters interrupted this.
