  - regulator: core: Use different devices for resource allocation and DT lookup Following by the below     discussion, there's the potential UAF issue between regulator and mfd.
    https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221128143601.1698148-1-yangyingliang@huawei.com/ From the analysis of     Yingliang CPU A |CPU B mt6370_probe() | devm_mfd_add_devices() | |mt6370_regulator_probe() |     regulator_register() | //allocate init_data and add it to devres | regulator_of_get_init_data()     i2c_unregister_device() | device_del() | devres_release_all() | // init_data is freed | release_nodes() |     | // using init_data causes UAF | regulator_register() It's common to use mfd core to create child device     for the regulator. In order to do the DT lookup for init data, the child that registered the regulator     would pass its parent as the parameter. And this causes init data resource allocated to its parent, not     itself. The issue happen when parent device is going to release and regulator core is still doing some     operation of init data constraint for the regulator of child device. To fix it, this patch expand     'regulator_register' API to use the different devices for init data allocation and DT lookup.
    (CVE-2022-50616)
