the teardown sequence where callbacks\ncould still be scheduled during cleanup that would then have a dangling\npointer to the now-freed steam struct.\n\nThis also puts work canceling for rumble and mode switch in\nsteam_unregister, as that shouldn't persist while the client hdev is open.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-23T12:19:04.191+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-23T12:19:04.191+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor
