Thats because the scheduled work became empty before it was executed.

-- BUG_ON(!list_empty(&work->entry)); --

Looks like someone forgot to flush_scheduled_work() before exiting. Can you
try putting flush_scheduled_work() as the first line in cp2101_exit and
whatever is the exit function of io_edgeport?

Just a wild guess. Things might be more complicated than this, but no harm in
trying.
