Subject: [PATCH v3 07/10] HID: steam: Rearrange teardown sequences
Date: Thu,  9 Jul 2026 19:00:42 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710020048.2337655-8-vi@endrift.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710020048.2337655-1-vi@endrift.com>

This fixes a narrow window during the teardown sequences in probe and
remove where callbacks could still be scheduled during cleanup that would then
have a dangling pointer to the now-freed steam struct.

Signed-off-by: Vicki Pfau <vi@endrift.com>
