In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: light: isl29028: Fix the warning in isl29028_remove() The driver use the non-managed form of the register function in
isl29028_remove(). To keep the release order as mirroring the ordering
in probe, the driver should use non-managed form in probe, too. The following log reveals it: [ 32.374955] isl29028 0-0010: remove
