[PATCH v2] HID: mcp-2221: prevent UAF in delayed work

From: Benjamin Tissoires
Date: Thu Feb 16 2023 - 05:23:57 EST


If the device is plugged/unplugged without giving time for mcp_init_work()
to complete, we might kick in the devm free code path and thus have
unavailable struct mcp_2221 while in delayed work.

Canceling the delayed_work item is enough to solve the issue, because
cancel_delayed_work_sync will prevent the work item to requeue itself.

Similar to Pietro's series, we can see the pattern in hid-mcp2221,
except that this time the ledclass is not involved.
