commit 47705c08465931923e2f2b506986ca0bdf80380d upstream.
When clearing up the channel context after client drivers are done using channels, the configuration is currently not being reset entirely. Ensure this is done to appropriately handle issues where clients unaware of the context state end up calling functions which expect a context.

This is really interesting code; author was careful to make sure chcfg is updated atomically, but C compiler is free to undo that. Plus, this will make all kinds of checkers angry.
Does the file need to use READ_ONCE and WRITE_ONCE?
