[PATCH] power: supply: act8945a: Disable status work on removal
From: Myeonghun Pak
Date: Thu Oct 15 2026 - 22:34:44 EST
Clearing init_done does not synchronize with either status interrupt. A
handler can observe init_done set, be delayed, and schedule the status
work after cancel_work_sync() has returned. The work can then access the
power supply after its managed cleanup.
Use disable_work_sync() to reject subsequent queueing and drain any
existing execution. The charger allocation remains valid until both
managed IRQs have been released, so a late handler can safely attempt to
queue the disabled work.
This issue was identified as part of our ongoing research while
reviewing kernel code.
