I'm thinking about flush_work() version, and I got confused.

Since cdns-mhdp8546 driver uses 4 works

        mhdp->modeset_retry_work
        mhdp->hpd_work
        mhdp->hdcp.check_work
        mhdp->hdcp.prop_work

I assume that flush_scheduled_work() in cdns_mhdp_remove() needs to wait
for only these 4 works. And since mhdp->modeset_retry_work already uses
cancel_work_sync(), flush_scheduled_work() would need to wait for only 3 works.
Therefore, I guess that the flush_work() version would look something like

        clk_disable_unprepare(mhdp->clk);
 

but I came to wonder whether mhdp->hdcp.check_work should be flushed or 
cancelled.

While flush_scheduled_work() waits for completion of works which were already 
queued
to system_wq, mhdp->modeset_retry_work and mhdp->hdcp.check_work are delayed 
works.
That is, work won't be queued to system_wq unless timeout expires.

Current code will wait for mhdp->hdcp.check_work only if timeout already 
expired.
If timeout is not expired yet, flush_scheduled_work() will fail to cancel
mhdp->hdcp.check_work, and cdns_mhdp_hdcp_check_work() which is triggered by
mhdp->hdcp.check_work will schedule hdcp->check_work, which is too late for
flush_scheduled_work() to wait for completion of cdns_mhdp_hdcp_prop_work().

Thus, how do we want to handle this race window?

  flush_delayed_work(&mhdp->hdcp.check_work) followed by
  flush_work(&mhdp->hdcp.prop_work) (i.e. flush as much as possible) ?

  cancel_delayed_work_sync(&mhdp->hdcp.check_work) followed by
  cancel_work_sync(&mhdp->hdcp.prop_work) (i.e. cancel as much as possible) ?

  do nothing (i.e. no need to flush or cancel mhdp->hdcp.check_work and 
mhdp->hdcp.prop_work) ?
