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

sata_fsl: fix UAF in sata_fsl_port_stop when rmmod sata_fsl

When the `rmmod sata_fsl.ko` command is executed in the PPC64 GNU/Linux,
a bug is reported:
 ==================================================================
 BUG: Unable to handle kernel data access on read at 0x80000800805b502c

 ==================================================================

The triggering of the BUG is shown in the following stack:

driver_detach
  device_release_driver_internal
    __device_release_driver
      drv->remove(dev) --> platform_drv_remove/platform_remove
        drv->remove(dev) --> sata_fsl_remove
          iounmap(host_priv->hcr_base);			<---- unmap
          kfree(host_priv);                             <---- free
      devres_release_all
        release_nodes
          dr->node.release(dev, dr->data) --> ata_host_stop
            ap->ops->port_stop(ap) --> sata_fsl_port_stop
                ioread32(hcr_base + HCONTROL)           <---- UAF
            host->ops->host_stop(host)

The iounmap(host_priv->hcr_base) and kfree(host_priv) functions should
not be executed in drv->remove. These functions should be executed in
host_stop after port_stop. Therefore, we move these functions to the
new function sata_fsl_host_stop and bind the new function to host_stop.
