6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Fan Wu <[email protected]>

commit 538c51e9d124cf656f2dd0c0394a8545efc7102d upstream.

brcmf_pcie_release_scratchbuffers() frees the shared.scratch and
shared.ringupd DMA buffers with dma_free_coherent() but does not clear
the pointers afterwards, unlike the sibling release_ringbuffers() which
NULLs commonrings/flowrings/idxbuf on release.

Both the bus_reset .reset callback (brcmf_pcie_reset) and
brcmf_pcie_remove() call release_scratchbuffers.  When reset teardown
has run before removal, remove's own teardown would call
dma_free_coherent() a second time on the already-freed DMA allocation.

NULL the pointers after free, matching release_ringbuffers(), so a later
release observes that the allocation has already been released.  This
patch makes repeated sequential release safe; the reset-work lifetime is
handled separately by the following patch.

This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.
