Subject: [PATCH] [v2] ieee802154: ca8210: Fix a potential UAF in ca8210_probe

If of_clk_add_provider() fails in ca8210_register_ext_clock(),
it calls clk_unregister() to release priv->clk and returns an
error. However, the caller ca8210_probe() then calls ca8210_remove(),
where priv->clk is freed again in ca8210_unregister_ext_clock(). In
this case, a use-after-free may happen in the second time we call
clk_unregister().

Fix this by removing the first clk_unregister(). Also, priv->clk could
be an error code on failure of clk_register_fixed_rate(). Use
IS_ERR_OR_NULL to catch this case in ca8210_unregister_ext_clock().

Fixes: ded845a781a5 ("ieee802154: Add CA8210 IEEE 802.15.4 device driver")

Changelog:

v2: -Remove the first clk_unregister() instead of nulling priv->clk.
