When resuming from suspend with a BCM43602 on Ubuntu 16.04 with
4.9.13, we see use after free [1].

We see the struct cfg80211_ops is accessed in the resume path, after
it was previously freed:

(gdb) list *(brcmf_cfg80211_attach+0x10b)
0x1d77b is in brcmf_cfg80211_attach
(drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c:6861).
6856            brcmf_err("ndev is invalid\n");
6857            return NULL;
6858        }
6859
6860        ops = kmemdup(&brcmf_cfg80211_ops, sizeof(*ops), GFP_KERNEL);
6861        if (!ops)
6862            return NULL;
6863
6864        ifp = netdev_priv(ndev);
6865    #ifdef CONFIG_PM

(gdb) list *(wiphy_resume+0x591)
0xb751 is in wiphy_resume (net/wireless/sysfs.c:133).
128        int ret = 0;
129
130        /* Age scan results with time spent in suspend */
131        cfg80211_bss_age(rdev, get_seconds() - rdev->suspend_at);
132
133        if (rdev->ops->resume) {
134            rtnl_lock();
135            if (rdev->wiphy.registered)
136                ret = rdev_resume(rdev);
137            rtnl_unlock();

I'm unsure if this relates to the ordering of callbacks processed by
dpm_run_callback.
The problem is that our driver can not access the device as it has been
powered off during suspend. So in the resume we cleanup everything
calling wiphy_unregister() and wiphy_free(). This means the rdev in
wiphy_resume() above is already freed. Not sure how to handle this
properly. Probably we should do a proper rebind.

So the wiphy instance is unregistered *and* freed in our
brcmf_pcie_resume() callback. However, the wiphy_resume() for this
instance still comes right after that. I tried several fixes using API
calls into driver core, but to no avail. So I came up with the fix
below.

Arend
