[PATCH] ASoC: wm8962: Prevent mic_work rearm during removal

From: Myeonghun Pak

Date: Mon Sep 21 2026 - 19:58:12 EST


wm8962_remove() cancels mic_work, but on unbind that cancel runs
before the interrupt that queues it is released.

wm8962_i2c_probe() requests the interrupt with
devm_request_threaded_irq() and registers the component afterwards.
devres releases in LIFO order, so wm8962_remove() runs before
free_irq(). A MICD or MICSCD event in between makes wm8962_irq()
queue mic_work again, and the delayed work then calls
snd_soc_component_read() and snd_soc_jack_report() on the freed
component.

Commit ca50410b731c ("ASoC: wm8962: Move interrupt initalisation to
probe()") dropped the free_irq() that used to precede
cancel_delayed_work_sync() in wm8962_remove().

Disable the interrupt in wm8962_i2c_remove(), which runs before devres
release. disable_irq() waits for the threaded handler, and the
existing cancel then drains mic_work with no producer left.

This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research
while reviewing kernel code.

Found by inspection; I do not have the hardware, so this is not runtime
tested.
