Hi,

Sorry for my late reply for I just went on a long vacation.

Get it. I'll write another patch and change the summary to the lack of
canceling job in error path.

After reading the code I still don't know. I didn't see any function
like mtk_jpeg_dec_end. The same thing
happens on mtk_jpeg_enc_start. I think I'd better fix the first
problem and wait for someone familiar with
the second part.
