Could the following scenario cause a use-after-free?
(I am adding comments on lines starting with -->)

a) user closes the device handle:

static void matrix_keypad_stop(struct input_dev *dev)
{
struct matrix_keypad *keypad = input_get_drvdata(dev);

spin_lock_irq(&keypad->lock);
keypad->stopped = true;
spin_unlock_irq(&keypad->lock);

flush_work(&keypad->work.work);
-->
--> new interrupt comes in, and schedules new delayed keypad->work (1)
-->
/*
* matrix_keypad_scan() will leave IRQs enabled;
* we should disable them now.
*/
disable_row_irqs(keypad);
}

b) user removes the keypad, or unloads the module:

static int matrix_keypad_remove(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
struct matrix_keypad *keypad = platform_get_drvdata(pdev);

matrix_keypad_free_gpio(keypad);
input_unregister_device(keypad->input_dev);
kfree(keypad);

-->
--> delayed keypad->work scheduled at (1) above executes anywhere past here,
--> and causes a user-after-free.
-->

return 0;
}
