Subject: CVE-2022-48663: gpio: mockup: fix NULL pointer dereference when removing debugfs

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

gpio: mockup: fix NULL pointer dereference when removing debugfs

We now remove the device's debugfs entries when unbinding the driver.
This now causes a NULL-pointer dereference on module exit because the
platform devices are unregistered *after* the global debugfs directory
has been recursively removed. Fix it by unregistering the devices first.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-48663 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
