Description

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

extcon: Modify extcon device to be created after driver data is set

Currently, someone can invoke the sysfs such as state_show()
intermittently before dev_set_drvdata() is done.
And it can be a cause of kernel Oops because of edev is Null at that time.
So modified the driver registration to after setting drviver data.

- Oops's backtrace.
