CVE-2024-56576

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

media: i2c: tc358743: Fix crash in the probe error path when using polling

If an error occurs in the probe() function, we should remove the polling timer that was alarmed earlier, otherwise the timer is called with arguments that are already freed, which results in a crash.
