During unbinding the driver was dereferencing a pointer to memory already freed by power_supply_unregister(). Driver was freeing its internal description of battery through pointers stored in power_supply structure. However, because the core owns the power supply instance, after calling power_supply_unregister() this memory is freed and the driver cannot access these members. Fix this by storing the pointer to internal description of battery in a local variable before calling power_supply_unregister(), so the pointer remains valid.

Lu <hjl.tools@gmail.com> Fixes: 297d716f6260 ("power_supply: Change ownership from driver to core") Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> --- Changes since v2: 1. Add missing 'const'. Changes since v1: 1. Re-work idea, use local variable instead of devm-like functions (pointed out by Dmitry Torokhov). 2.
