Alexander Usyskin 7704e6be4e mei: hook mei_device on class device
mei_device lifetime was managed by devm procedure of parent device.
But such memory is freed on device_del.
Mei_device object is used by client object that may be alive after
parent device is removed.
It may lead to use-after-free if discrete graphics driver unloads
mei_gsc auxiliary device while user-space holds open handle to mei
character device.

Connect mei_device structure lifteme to mei class device lifetime
by adding mei_device free to class device remove callback.

Move exising parent device pointer to separate field in mei_device
to avoid misuse.

Allocate character device dynamically and allow to control its own
lifetime as it may outlive mei_device structure while character
device closes after parent device is removed from the system.

Leave power management on parent device as we overwrite pci runtime
pm procedure and user-space is expecting it there.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
