[PATCH 0/2] Console/stdio use after free

With today's master, 70c2525c0d3c ('IOMUX: Stop dropped consoles')
introduces a use after free in usb_kbd_remove():

- usbkbd's stdio device is de-registered with stdio_deregister_dev(),
  the struct stdio_dev is freed.

- iomux_doenv() is called, usbkbd removed from the console list, and
  console_stop() is called on the struct stdio_dev pointer that no
  longer exists.

This series mitigates this by making sure the pointer is really a stdio
device prior performing the stop operation. It's not ideal, but I
couldn't figure out a nicer way to fix this.

Regards,
Nicolas
