This comment is wrong, you are clearing PMIER, not IMR. IMR gets cleared
in enable() iirc

I'm not sure this actually fixes a problem. The existing code:
1. disables all interrupts (no more can occur).
2. sets pm_iir to 0 safe in rps lock
<workqueues can run at this point, but IMR has no effect with IER = 0>

I think you should do the cancel work sync somewhere in the code before
module unload (to be correct). I just don't think this fixes a race.
