I just noticed that I forgot to fill in the (1) footnote above:
1) And we probably will want one for non delayed work items to: devm_work_autocancel(),
but lets cross that bridge when we get there.
Also when reviewing: "[RFC PATCH 2/7] extconn: Clean-up few drivers by using managed work init"
I noticed that the extcon-qcom-spmi-misc.c and extcon-palmas.c follow the same standard
pattern of having an IRQ which queues a delayed work and they both miss the devm_free_irq
call before the cancel_delayed_work_sync() on driver release. So just patch 2/7 here
fixes 3 driver-release race conditions (fixing 3/4 drivers which it touches) as a
bonus to the code-cleanup which it does.
So as this clearly seems to be fixing a bunch of bugs, by simply completely removing the
buggy code driver remove callbacks, this really seems like a good idea to me.
Regards,
Hans
