As pointed out by Stephen Boyd it is possible that during initialization
of the pmic_glink child drivers, the protection-domain notifiers fires,
and the associated work is scheduled, before the client registration
returns and as a result the local "client" pointer has been initialized.
The outcome of this is a NULL pointer dereference as the "client"
pointer is blindly dereferenced.
Timeline provided by Stephen:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
ucsi->client = NULL;
devm_pmic_glink_register_client()
client->pdr_notify(client->priv, pg->client_state)
pmic_glink_ucsi_pdr_notify()
schedule_work(&ucsi->register_work)
<schedule away>
pmic_glink_ucsi_register()
ucsi_register()
pmic_glink_ucsi_read_version()
pmic_glink_ucsi_read()
pmic_glink_ucsi_read()
pmic_glink_send(ucsi->client)
<client is NULL BAD>
ucsi->client = client // Too late!
This code is identical across the altmode, battery manager and usci
child drivers.
Resolve this by splitting the allocation of the "client" object and the
registration thereof into two operations.
This only happens if the protection domain registry is populated at the
time of registration, which by the introduction of commit '1ebcde047c54
("soc: qcom: add pd-mapper implementation")' became much more likely.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
