ice: dpll: set pointers to NULL after kfree in ice_dpll_deinit_info
ice_dpll_deinit_info() calls kfree() on several pf->dplls fields (inputs, outputs, eec.input_prio, pps.input_prio) but does not set the pointers to NULL afterward. This leaves dangling pointers in the pf->dplls structure. While not currently exploitable through existing code paths, this is unsafe because: 1. If ice_dpll_init_info() is called again after a deinit (e.g. during driver recovery), and a subsequent allocation within init fails, the error path will jump to deinit_info and call ice_dpll_deinit_info() again. Since some pointers still hold the old freed addresses, this would result in a double-free. 2. Any future code that checks these pointers before use or after free would be unprotected against use-after-free. Follow the common kernel convention of setting pointers to NULL after kfree() so that: - kfree(NULL) is a safe no-op, preventing double-free - NULL checks on these pointers become meaningful This is a preparatory fix for a subsequent patch that routes additional error paths in ice_dpll_init_info() to the deinit_info label.
