[PATCH] usb: typec: thunderbolt: cancel work on driver removal
From: Hongyan Xu
Date: Thu Aug 06 2026 - 02:08:45 EST
The probe and alternate mode callbacks can schedule tbt->work. The remove
callback drops the cable and plug references without canceling that work,
and the devres core then frees tbt. A pending or running work item can
therefore dereference both released objects and the freed tbt allocation.
Cancel the work synchronously before dropping the referenced Type-C
objects.
