[PATCH] usb: gadget: f_midi: initialize work in f_midi_alloc()
From: Jeffin Philip
Date: Sat Aug 15 2026 - 01:41:02 EST
f_midi_alloc initializes free_ref to 1 and it can only be incremented
when a sound card is registered via f_midi_register_card().
f_midi_register_card() is only called in f_midi_bind() which actually
performs INIT_WORK. If f_midi_bind() is never run, work is not
initialized and the if condition in f_midi_free becomes true,
this results in a warning later in __flush_work as work->func = 0.
Fix this by moving INIT_WORK from f_midi_bind() to f_midi_alloc().
