Douglas Anderson f5230fb9bf Revert "usb: dwc3: dwc3-qcom: Enable tx-fifo-resize property by default"
commit 6a97cee39d upstream.

This reverts commit cefdd52fa0.

On sc7180-trogdor class devices with 'fw_devlink=permissive' and KASAN
enabled, you'll see a Use-After-Free reported at bootup.

The root of the problem is that dwc3_qcom_of_register_core() is adding
a devm-allocated "tx-fifo-resize" property to its device tree node
using of_add_property().

The issue is that of_add_property() makes a _permanent_ addition to
the device tree that lasts until reboot. That means allocating memory
for the property using "devm" managed memory is a terrible idea since
that memory will be freed upon probe deferral or device unbinding.

Let's revert the patch since the system is still functional without
it. The fact that of_add_property() makes a permanent change is extra
fodder for those folks who were aruging that the device tree isn't
really the right way to pass information between parts of the
driver. It is an exercise left to the reader to submit a patch
re-adding the new feature in a way that makes everyone happier.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
