[PATCH] usb: typec: anx7411 - stop the IRQ before destroying the workqueue

[Linkai Gong]

The IRQ is devm-managed, so it can still queue plat->work while
remove() is tearing the queue down. Disable it first.

Is the workqueu necessary at all? It's threaded irq.

Thanks,

You are right. The threaded handler only queues work, so the
extra workqueue does not buy much.

I will send a v2 that runs the handler body in the threaded IRQ
and drops the workqueue. That also removes the remove() race.

Thanks,

Sorry, I spoke too soon. You are right that the workqueue looks
redundant, but I will keep this patch to the remove() race only.
I can drop the workqueue in a separate follow-up if you prefer.

Not for stable?

I don't see any difference compared to v1?

Yes, it should go to stable. The race has been there since the driver
was added. I will send a v3 with Cc: stable.

Correct, the code is the same as v1. After your question about the
workqueue I only wanted to say I am keeping this minimal remove()
fix for now; I should have replied without posting an identical
patch. Sorry for the noise.

Thanks,
