[PATCH v4 1/3] Input: applespi - cancel pending work on driver remove

[Shih-Yuan Lee]

During driver removal in applespi_remove(), the managed private data
structure is freed by devres. However, the driver does not cancel the
asynchronous work applespi->work, which registers the touchpad input
device.

This creates a use-after-free (UAF) vulnerability if a pending or
running worker thread attempts to access the private data after the
remove function returns.

Fix this by explicitly calling cancel_work_sync(&applespi->work) in
applespi_remove() before cleanups.
