Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

firmware: arm_ffa: Check if ffa_driver remove is present before executing

Currently ffa_drv->remove() is called unconditionally from
ffa_device_remove(). Since the driver registration doesn't check for it
and allows it to be registered without .remove callback, we need to check
for the presence of it before executing it from ffa_device_remove() to
above a NULL pointer dereference like the one below:

  | Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000
