The driver was clearing its struct usb_device pointer, which it used as an inverted disconnected flag, before deregistering the character device and without serialising against racing release(). This could lead to a use-after-free if a racing release() callback observes the cleared pointer and frees the driver data before disconnect() is finished with it. This could also lead to NULL-pointer dereferences in a racing open().
