Turning off the brightness of each channel is required
when removing the driver.
So use flush_work_sync() rather than cancel_work_sync() to wait for
unhandled brightness works.

Hmmm, I think we still should use cancel_work() here based on your
idea. Please find the patch from Tejun and add him to this loop
[PATCH 4/6] workqueue: deprecate flush[_delayed]_work_sync()
---
Before this patchset,
flush_work()
flush the last queued instance of the work item. If it got
queued on multple CPUs, it only considers the last queued
instance. The work item could still be executing on other
CPUs and the flush might become noop if there are competing
queueing operation on another CPU.
flush_work_sync()
flush_work() + wait for executing instances on all CPUs. The
flush_work() part may still become noop if there's competing
queueing operation.
cancel_work()
Dequeue the work item if it's pending. Doesn't care about
whether it's executing or not.
cancel_work_sync()
cancel_work() + flush_work_sync().
After this patchset,
flush_work()
flush the work item. Any queueing happened previously is
guaranteed to have finished execution on return. If no
further queueing happened after flush started, the work item
is guaranteed to be idle on return.
cancel_work()
Same as before.
cancel_work_sync()
cancel_work() followed by flush_work(). The same semantics as
del_timer_sync().
---
cancel_work_sync() won't execute the work item at all just cancel
them, but flush will execute them and return.

Thanks a lot for the updates!
Then, I think flush_work() should be used for executing remaining brightness work
rather than cancel_work_sync().

Yeah, I agree here. I made a mistake about your original patch's description.
