Dear Zheng,

You set up an application scenario:
cpu1 is using the mtk-jpeg driver and timeout work has been scheduled.
At the same time cpu0 wanted to remove the mtk-jpeg driver, which
caused the UAF bug.
I wonder if such an irrational application scenario could exist. This
scenario, as you described, not only leads to the problems you
mentioned, but also to output&capture memory leaks and unreleased
resources, such as spinlock.
Typically, if we want to remove the driver, we firstly do stop
streaming, which ensures that the worker has been canceled.
I agree with your changes from the perspective of strengthening the
robustness of the driver code.

Regards,
Kyrie.
