* [RFC v1] NFC: port100: prevent use-after-free on disconnect

Problem:
The cmd_complete_work work could potentially run after resources
are freed in disconnect(). This could cause user-after-free
issues.

Solution:
Reorder disconnect() calls, and explicitly cancel the work
using cancel_work_sync().

Samuel,

I'm unfamiliar with this driver, and I don't have the h/w, so I cannot test it.
This is just a suggestion on how to fix a potential issue.

Sven
