From: Vasundhara Volam <vasundhara-v.volam@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 21d6a11e2cadfb8446265a3efff0e2aad206e15e ] A recent patch has moved the workqueue cleanup logic before calling unregister_netdev() in bnxt_remove_one(). This caused a regression because the workqueue can be restarted if the device is still open. Workqueue cleanup must be done after unregister_netdev(). The workqueue will not restart itself after the device is closed. Call bnxt_cancel_sp_work() after unregister_netdev() and call bnxt_dl_fw_reporters_destroy() after that. This fixes the regession and the original NULL ptr dereference issue.
