Subject: [PATCH] net: arc_emac: Fix use after free in arc_mdio_probe()
Date:   Tue,  8 Mar 2022 19:10:05 +0800

If bus->state is equal to MDIOBUS_ALLOCATED, mdiobus_free(bus) will free
the "bus". But bus->name is still used in the next line, which will lead
to a use after free.

We can fix it by putting the bus->name in a local variable and then use
the name in the error message without referring to bus to avoid the uaf.
