CVE-2026-43149: net: wan/fsl_ucc_hdlc: Fix dma_free_coherent() in uhdlc_memclean()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: wan/fslucchdlc: Fix dmafreecoherent() in uhdlcmemclean()
The priv->rxbuffer and priv->txbuffer are alloc'd together as contiguous buffers in uhdlcinit() but freed as two buffers in uhdlcmemclean().
Change the cleanup to only call dmafreecoherent() once on the whole buffer.
