Subject: [PATCH 2/3] usb: max3421-hcd: Fix crash on the driver removal
The driver was calling kthread_stop inside a spin-locked
region while the thread was calling schedule() on a regular
basis. That resulted in panic due to 'scheduling while atomic'.
There was no need to get the spin-lock before stopping the
thread as thread stopping is asynchronous and the thread
only stops when it detects the stop flag set by kthread_stop(),
at which point it is not accessing any resources anyway.
Hence, this patch removes the spin-locking around the
kthread_stop() call.
Additionally, the allocated resources were not free'd in
the correct order. Some were not free'd at all. This patch
switches all resource allocations to devm_* functions
and also reorders deallocation to properly revert the
allocations (although not actually needed for devm-allocated
resources).
