In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

sata_fsl: fix UAF in sata_fsl_port_stop when rmmod sata_fsl

When the `rmmod sata_fsl.ko` command is executed in the PPC64 GNU/Linux,
a bug is reported:
==================================================================
BUG: Unable to handle kernel data access on read at 0x80000800805b502c

==================================================================

The triggering of the BUG is shown in the following stack:

driver_detach
device_release_driver_internal
__device_release_driver
drv->remove(dev) --> platform_drv_remove/platform_remove
drv->remove(dev) --> sata_fsl_remove
iounmap(host_priv->hcr_base); <---- unmap
kfree(host_priv); <---- free
devres_release_all
release_nodes
dr->node.release(dev, dr->data) --> ata_host_stop
ap->ops->port_stop(ap) --> sata_fsl_port_stop
ioread32(hcr_base + HCONTROL) <---- UAF
host->ops->host_stop(host)

The iounmap(host_priv->hcr_base) and kfree(host_priv) functions should
not be executed in drv->remove. These functions should be executed in
host_stop after port_stop. Therefore, we move these functions to the
new function sata_fsl_host_stop and bind the new function to host_stop.
