The workq can process work in parallel with a remove event, leading to a condition where the workq handler can access freed memory. To remedy, the workq should be terminated prior to freeing memory. Move the termination call earlier in remove and use cancel_work_sync() instead of flush_work() as there is not a need to process any scheduled work when shutting down. Signed-off-by: Matthew R.
