Subject[PATCH 4.7 086/141] mailbox: mailbox-test: set tdev->signal to NULL after freeing
Date
4.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla@arm.com>

commit 9ef3c5112139cc5c5666ee096e05bc1e00e94015 upstream.

tdev->signal is not set NULL after it's freed. This will cause random
exceptions when the stale pointer is accessed after tdev->signal is
freed. Also, since tdev->signal allocation is skipped the next time
it's written, this leads to continuous fault finally leading to the
total death of the system.

Fixes: d1c2f87c9a8f ("mailbox: mailbox-test: Prevent memory leak")
