[PATCH] media: marvell: mcam: stop DMA and cancel s_bh_work before freeing DMA buffers

Message-ID <[email protected]>
In vmalloc mode the frame-completion IRQ queues mcam_frame_work() on
cam->s_bh_work, which memcpy()s from the dma_bufs[] that
mcam_free_dma_bufs() frees with dma_free_coherent().  mccic_shutdown()
frees those buffers without stopping the controller, so while streaming
a late frame IRQ can re-arm the work after the buffers are gone, causing a
use-after-free.

Stop the controller in mccic_shutdown() when streaming is still active
(gated on an open fd, which holds a runtime-PM reference, so the device
is powered), cancel s_bh_work in mcam_free_dma_bufs(), and move
INIT_WORK() into mccic_register() before the device can be published.
