3.16.84-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Bryan O'Donoghue <bryan.odonog...@linaro.org> commit d710562e01c48d59be3f60d58b7a85958b39aeda upstream. Currently ecm->notify_req is used to flag when a request is in-flight. ecm->notify_req is set to NULL and when a request completes it is subsequently reset. This is fundamentally buggy in that the unbind logic of the ECM driver will unconditionally free ecm->notify_req leading to a NULL pointer dereference.
