CVE-2026-93092: firmware: arm_scmi: Unregister device notifier before IDR teardown

Q: Which systems and events are relevant to this issue?

The issue is in the Linux kernel ARM SCMI firmware subsystem. It can occur during device removal when the requested-devices notifier runs while the active_protocols IDR is being released and destroyed.

Q: What is the required fix ordering?

The requested-devices notifier must be unregistered before active_protocols is released and destroyed, preventing its callback from looking up protocol fwnodes during IDR teardown. The SCMI bus notifier should remain registered until protocol state teardown is complete.

Operational
During removal, unregister the requested-devices notifier before releasing and destroying the active_protocols IDR so no notifier callback can race with IDR teardown.
Operational
Keep the bus notifier registered until after the SCMI protocol state has been torn down.
