This function\nunconditionally calls ar_context_release() to clean up the asynchronous\nreceive contexts. However, if ar_context_init() was not yet called,\nctx->ohci remains NULL (as the fw_ohci structure is zero-initialized by\ndevres_alloc()).\n\nar_context_release() immediately dereferences ctx->ohci to get the dev\npointer before checking if the context was actually initialized, leading to\na crash:\n\nOops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address\n0xdffffc0000000001: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI\nKASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000008-0x000000000000000f]\nRIP: 0010:ar_context_release+0x3f/0x380 drivers/firewire/ohci.c:543\nCall Trace:\n release_ohci+0x3f/0x60 drivers/firewire/ohci.c:3567\n release_nodes drivers/base/devres.c:546 [inline]\n devres_release_all+0x1a8/0x260 drivers/base/devres.c:576\n device_unbind_cleanup drivers/base/dd.c:597 [inline]\n really_probe+0x451/0xae0 drivers/base/dd.c:772\n\nTo fix this, move the assignment of the dev pointer after the !ctx->buffer\ncheck.
