[PATCH -next] media: i2c: adv7842: fix possible use-after-free in adv7842_remove()

From: Yang Yingliang
Date: Tue Apr 06 2021 - 09:47:18 EST


This driver's remove path calls cancel_delayed_work(). However, that
function does not wait until the work function finishes. This means
that the callback function may still be running after the driver's
remove function has finished, which would result in a use-after-free.

Fix by calling cancel_delayed_work_sync(), which ensures that
the work is properly cancelled, no longer running, and unable
to re-schedule itself.
