3.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Stephen Warren <[email protected]> commit a2f95c363701deba2205f81929b40222ea6f4f80 upstream. of_regulator_match() saves some dynamcially allocated state into the match table that's passed to it. By implementation and not contract, for each match table entry, if non-NULL state is already present, of_regulator_match() will not overwrite it. of_regulator_match() is typically called each time a regulator is probe()d. This means it is called with the same match table over and over again if a regulator triggers deferred probe. This results in stale, kfree()d data being left in the match table from probe to probe, which causes a variety of crashes or use of invalid data. Explicitly free all output state from of_regulator_match() before generating new results in order to avoid this.
