[PATCH v1] firmware: arm_scmi: Fix NULL pointer dereference in mailbox_clear_channel

From: Qiujun Huang
Date: Tue Aug 29 2023 - 13:08:56 EST


There is a race between the failure of probe and rx_callback (due to a
delayed response).

scmi_probe
scmi_acquire_protocal
do_xfer
timeout
mailbox_chan_free
<--- delay response
rx_callback
mbox_free_channel
cinfo->transport_info = NULL
mailbox_clear_channel
dereference cinfo->transport_info

This patch check for it, and clear the channel at mailbox_chan_free.
