The delayed work uec->work is scheduled in gaokun_ucsi_probe() but never properly canceled in gaokun_ucsi_remove(). This creates use-after-free scenarios where the ucsi and gaokun_ucsi structure are freed after ucsi_destroy() completes execution, while the gaokun_ucsi_register_worker() might be either currently executing or still pending in the work queue. The already-freed gaokun_ucsi or ucsi structure may then be accessed.
Furthermore, the race window is 3 seconds, which is sufficiently long to make this bug easily reproducible. The following is the trace captured by KASAN:

The original patch[1] only fixes the probe failure in gaokun_ucsi_probe(). This new version is a patch series that also addresses the use-after-free issue.

Add disable_delayed_work_sync() in gaokun_ucsi_remove() to ensure that uec->work is properly canceled and prevented from executing after the ucsi and gaokun_ucsi structure have been deallocated.

What changed from v1?
The original patch[1] only fixes the probe failure in gaokun_ucsi_probe(). This new version is a patch series that also addresses the use-after-free issue.

The delayed work uec->work is scheduled in gaokun_ucsi_probe() but never properly canceled in gaokun_ucsi_remove(). This creates use-after-free scenarios where the ucsi and gaokun_ucsi structure are freed after ucsi_destroy() completes execution, while the gaokun_ucsi_register_worker() might be either currently executing or still pending in the work queue. The already-freed gaokun_ucsi or ucsi structure may then be accessed.
Furthermore, the race window is 3 seconds, which is sufficiently long to make this bug easily reproducible. The following is the trace captured by KASAN:
