Anyway -
I don't know the code well enough to suggest a solution.
It all depends on the driver architecture. The maintainers might
have a better idea.

A worse problem appears to be that the worker is also canceled
from mtk_jpeg_enc_irq() and mtk_jpeg_dec_irq(). Those are non-threaded
interrupt handlers which, as far as I know, must not sleep and thus
can not call cancel_delayed_work_sync(). I have no idea how to solve
that problem either.
