Then the error path should cancel the job_timeout_work, or better job
needs to be run after the dec/enc has been started and not before.

Looking further at the code, I'm confused by this hunk:

	mtk_jpeg_dec_start(comp_jpeg[hw_id]->reg_base);
	v4l2_m2m_job_finish(jpeg->m2m_dev, ctx->fh.m2m_ctx);

The job should be marked as finished when h/w has finished processing
the job and not right after the job has been started. So the job is
always completed and mtk_jpeg_job_timeout_work() doesn't work as
expected, am I missing something?
