AFAICS, there is a fundamental problem here. The job_timeout_work uses
v4l2_m2m_get_curr_priv() and at the time when driver module is unloaded,
all the v4l contexts must be closed and released. Hence the
v4l2_m2m_get_curr_priv() shall return NULL and crash the kernel when
work is executed before cancel_delayed_work_sync().

At the time when mtk_jpeg_remove() is invoked, there shall be no
job_timeout_work running in background because all jobs should be
completed before context is released. If you'll look at
v4l2_m2m_cancel_job(), you can see that it waits for the task completion
before closing context.

You shouldn't be able to remove driver module while it has active/opened
v4l contexts. If you can do that, then this is yours bug that needs to
be fixed.

In addition to this all, the job_timeout_work is initialized only for
the single-core JPEG device. I'd expect this patch should crash
multi-core JPEG devices.
