Subject[PATCH] drivers: avoid use after free of a pinctrl context pointer
During probing, pinctrl context is allocated and assigned to the struct
device::pins pointer. If probing fails or if the driver is later unbound
and re-probed again, the memory is freed, but the pointer is not cleared.
On a repeated probing attempt a non-NULL pointer indicates an already
allocated context, which then gets used. To avoid this the pointer must
be cleared.
