Subject: Re: [PATCH] HID: hid-oxp: use cancel_delayed_work_sync() in remove

Hi Derek,
Thanks for the review.
One thing the Sashiko bot flagged, and I think it's valid: if
oxp_hid_probe() returns early on an unknown usage page (the
default: return 0 path), the delayed work items are never
initialized via INIT_DELAYED_WORK(). In that case,
cancel_delayed_work_sync() in remove() would call __flush_work()
on a zero-filled work struct, which hits WARN_ON(!work->func).
The non-sync cancel_delayed_work() didn't trigger this because it
never calls __flush_work().
Do you think this path is actually reachable in practice, or are
the usage page IDs exhaustive for all matched devices? If it can
happen, I can send a v2 that guards the cancels.
Thanks,
Tristan
