Subject: [PATCH] media: rc: Fix race between bpf(BPG_PROG_ATTACH) and device
unregister
Mark the device as unregistered before tearing down raw IR/bpf
state, so that racing bpf(BPF_PROG_{ATTACH,DETACH,QUERY}) calls
cannot slip in between ir_raw_event_unregister() completing and
dev->registered being cleared.
Fixes: dccc0c3ddf8f ("media: rc: fix race between unregister and urb/irq callbacks")
