Cool, thanks for doing it!

Huh, I think you didn't explicitly mention this one, but it's actually
part of the UAF fix AFAICT?

When I did the aux device stuff for the clk-mpfs driver, I copied from
peci as there were almost no examples of aux dev stuff in-tree.
It looks like subsequently to me starting development, this fix landed:
1c11289b34ab ("peci: cpu: Fix use-after-free in adev_release()")

It similarly moves the uninit() to the release callback...

I think I need the below (whitespace damaged):
