Re: [RESEND PATCH] media: mtk-jpeg: Fix use after free bug due to uncanceled work

Dear Kyrie,

Sorry for my misunderstanding. I've seen the timeout worker is bound
with mtk_jpegdec_timeout_work rather than mtk_jpeg_job_timeout_work.So
the competition won't happen.

Back to the beginning scene, I still don't know if it's a UAF issue or
not. The normal schedule is very strong to me. If we can call
mtk_jpeg_remove directly without calling mtk_jpeg_release,
The UAF is still possible. Otherwis, I think it's safe here.

Best regards,
Zheng
