[Severity: Low]
Since this fixes a use-after-free on teardown, should it include a Fixes:
tag such as:
Fixes: a5475829adcc ("ASoC: codecs: wcd-mbhc-v2: fix resource leaks on component remove")
Also, the reference to CVE-2023-53842 in the commit description omits the
commit SHA and subject above, and misstates its changes:
wcd_cancel_hs_detect_plug() was present since 0e5c9e7ff899 ("ASoC: codecs:
wcd: add multi button Headset detection support"), a5475829adcc ("ASoC:
codecs: wcd-mbhc-v2: fix resource leaks on component remove") switched mbhc
to kzalloc() and added kfree(mbhc), and 0c105997eefd ("ASoC: codec:
wcd-mbhc-v2: add support when connected behind an USB-C audio mux") added
mbhc_plug_detect_work.

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but could wcd_mbhc_deinit() call
wcd_mbhc_cancel_pending_work() instead of open-coding
cancel_delayed_work_sync(&mbhc->mbhc_btn_dwork) after
wcd_cancel_hs_detect_plug()?
sound/soc/codecs/wcd-mbhc-v2.c:wcd_mbhc_cancel_pending_work() {
/* cancel pending button press */
wcd_cancel_btn_work(mbhc);
/* cancel correct work function */
wcd_cancel_hs_detect_plug(mbhc, &mbhc->correct_plug_swch);
}
Reusing wcd_mbhc_cancel_pending_work() matches the other cancellation sites
in this file and cancels mbhc_btn_dwork before wcd_cancel_hs_detect_plug()
temporarily drops mbhc->lock.
