3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Grazvydas Ignotas <[email protected]> commit 4c1bcdb5a3354b250b82a67549f57ac27a3bb85f upstream. This driver currently leaves elp_work behind when stopping, which occasionally results in data corruption because work function ends up accessing freed memory, typical symptoms of this are various worker_thread crashes. Fix it by cancelling elp_work. Signed-off-by: Grazvydas Ignotas <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: John W.
