## \[PATCH\] input: appletouch: initialize work before device registration

- From: Pavel Skripkin \<hidden\>

Syzbot has reported warning in __flush_work(). This warning is caused by
work->func == NULL, which means missing work initialization.

This may happen, since input_dev->close() calls cancel_work_sync(&dev->work),
but dev->work initalization happens _after_ input_register_device()
call.

So this patch moves dev->work initialization before registering input
device

Fixes: 5a6eb676d3bc ("Input: appletouch - improve powersaving for Geyser3 devices")
Reported-and-tested-by: <redacted>
Signed-off-by: Pavel Skripkin <redacted>

Happy New Year and Merry Christmas! :)


With regards,
