6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Karl Mehltretter [ Upstream commit 8b0b29fdcb47907ae0296b8fe829e918e05e300f ] imx_uart_probe() publishes its devm-allocated port in imx_uart_ports[] before uart_add_one_port() because console setup uses the table. The entry is not cleared when adding the port fails or after removal, leaving a dangling pointer. A sibling probe can register the shared console through that stale entry. This was reproduced under KASAN on QEMU mcimx6ul-evk by unbinding a sibling UART, unbinding the console UART and rebinding the sibling. Keep the entry valid through uart_remove_one_port(), then clear it. Protect port addition and removal together with their table updates so sibling operations cannot interleave. Reject an occupied slot rather than clobbering an active port during a duplicate-line probe.
