[PATCH] media: sunxi-cir: Disable the interrupt before stopping the hardware

From: Myeonghun Pak

Date: Thu Nov 12 2026 - 02:00:00 EST


The devm-managed IRQ remains registered after sunxi_ir_hw_exit() stops
the hardware and rc_free_device() frees the rc device. A running handler
can therefore access the FIFO with clocks gated or pass a freed rc
device to the raw event code.

Call disable_irq() after rc_unregister_device() and before
sunxi_ir_hw_exit() to wait for the handler before stopping the hardware
and freeing the rc device.

For backports to kernels where rc_unregister_device() frees the rc
device, disable the IRQ before unregistering it.

Found by a static analysis tool under development.
Not tested on hardware.
