Oh, so this relies on flush_workqueue or destroy_workqueue to be a
barrier (so that the assignment to end_work is not reordered), correct?

Also, on the first open:
        s->force_end_work = 0;
        s->parity = 0;
        s->rts = 0;

        sprintf(b, "max3100-%d", s->minor);
        s->workqueue = create_freezable_workqueue(b);
        if (!s->workqueue) {
                dev_warn(&s->spi->dev, "cannot create workqueue\n");
                return -EBUSY;
        }

Here, s->force_end_work is 0, s->workqueue is non-NULL, but s->work is
garbage until:

        INIT_WORK(&s->work, max3100_work);


INIT_WORK should be in max3100_probe as far as I can see (or at least
before create_freezable_workqueue), right? But those variable
assignments also rely on some implicit barrier which is not there.
