Amit and Johan both reported a NULL pointer dereference in the
pmic_glink client code during initialization, and Stephen Boyd pointed
out the problem (race condition).
While investigating, and writing the fix, I noticed that
ucsi_unregister() is called in atomic context but tries to sleep, and I
also noticed that the condition for when to inform the pmic_glink client
drivers when the remote has gone down is just wrong.
So, let's fix all three.
As mentioned in the commit message for the UCSI fix, I have a series in
the works that makes the GLINK callback happen in a sleepable context,
which would remove the need for the clients list to be protected by a
spinlock, and removing the work scheduling. This is however not -rc
material...
In addition to the NULL pointer dereference, there is the -ECANCELED
issue reported here:

Johan reports that these fixes do not address that issue.

Changes in v2:
- Refer to the correct commit in the ucsi_unregister() patch.
- Updated wording in the same commit message about the new error message
in the log.
- Changed the data type of the introduced state variables, opted to go
for a bool as we only represent two states (and I would like to
further clean this up going forward)
- Initialized the spinlock
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240818-pmic-glink-v6-11-races-v1-0-f87c577e0bc9@quicinc.com
