Roderick, FYI, this particular repro is triggering that issue in the
Sony driver AFAICS.

Let's try Roderick's patch from [1] here:

#syz test: https://github.com/google/kasan.git eea39f24

[1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11131703/

[-- Attachment #2: hid-sony.patch --]
[-- Type: text/x-patch, Size: 1199 bytes --]

From: Roderick Colenbrander <roderick.colenbrander@sony.com>

The sony driver is not properly cleaning up from potential failures in
sony_input_configured. Currently it calls hid_hw_stop, while hid_connect
is still running. This is not a good idea, instead hid_hw_stop should
be moved to sony_probe. Similar changes were recently made to Logitech
drivers, which were also doing improper cleanup.
