Dear all,


I reported that the scr24x_cs driver does not cause UAF, which is incorrect.

UAFs can also occur in the scr24x_cs driver in the following order:
```
                cpu0                                                cpu1
       1. open()
                                                             2. scr24x_remove()
                                                                device_destroy()
                                                                cdev_del()
                                                                kref_put()
       3. scr24x_open()
          kref_get()   <- refcount_t: addition on 0;
                                                             4. scr24x_delete()
                                                                kfree(dev);
       5. scr24x_read()    <- UAF
```
Because this driver uses kref_init, it looks as if no UAF is happening, but it does.

Since there is no lock between .open and .remove, kref_get() is called after kref_put() 
is called, so "refcount_t: addition on 0;" This is what happens.


So I submitted a patch for all drivers in this path:
- synclink_cs.c "v2" patch : https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220916045734.GA187909@ubuntu/T/#u
- cm4040_cs.c : https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220916045834.GA188033@ubuntu/T/#u
- cm4000_cs.c : https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220916045929.GA188153@ubuntu/T/#u
- scr24x_cs.c : https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220916050006.GA188273@ubuntu/T/#u


Best Regards,
Hyunwoo Kim.
