From: Dongliang Mu <mudongliangabcd@xxxxxxxxx> flush_work will throw one WARN if worker->func is NULL. So we should always initialize one worker before calling flush_work. When hdpvr_probe does not initialize its worker, the hdpvr_disconnect will encounter one WARN. The stack trace is in the following: hdpvr_disconnect+0xb8/0xf2 drivers/media/usb/hdpvr/hdpvr-core.c:425 usb_unbind_interface+0xbf/0x3a0 drivers/usb/core/driver.c:458 __device_release_driver drivers/base/dd.c:1206 [inline] device_release_driver_internal+0x22a/0x230 drivers/base/dd.c:1237 bus_remove_device+0x108/0x160 drivers/base/bus.c:529 device_del+0x1fe/0x510 drivers/base/core.c:3592 usb_disable_device+0xd1/0x1d0 drivers/usb/core/message.c:1419 usb_disconnect+0x109/0x330 drivers/usb/core/hub.c:2228 Fix this by adding a sanity check of the worker before flush_work.
