In at91_adc_probe, &st->touch_st.workq is bound with
at91_adc_workq_handler. Then it will be started by irq

If we remove the driver which will call at91_adc_remove
   to make cleanup, there may be a unfinished work.

The possible sequence is as follows:

Fix it by finishing the work before cleanup in the at91_adc_remove

CPU0                  CPU1

                     |at91_adc_workq_handler
at91_adc_remove     |
iio_device_unregister|
iio_dev_release     |
kfree(iio_dev_opaque);|

I'd like some input form someone more familiar with this driver than I am.

In particular, whilst it fixes the bug seen I'm not sure what the most
logical ordering for the disable is or the best way to do it.

I'd prefer to see the irq cut off at source by disabling it at the device
feature that is generating the irq followed by cancelling or waiting for
completion of any in flight work.
The usually way you'd do this by calling free_irq() before the cancel_work_sync().
