This happens because in v4l2_i2c_subdev_init(), the i2c_set_cliendata()
is called again and the data is overwritten to point to sd, instead of
priv. So, in remove(), the wrong pointer is passed to
v4l2_async_unregister_subdev(), leading to a crash.

```text
Check this codebase for CVE-2024-58054 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2024-58054 is a high-severity vulnerability in Debian Debian Linux, published on 6 Mar 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-58054 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Debian Debian Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
