The code leading up to this initializes the timer and work struct, but
they are not triggered unless their respective isr is exectued. This
would not happen until after the request_irq at the end of the function.

As such there doesn't appear to be a reason for cancelling any work or
timers.

[PATCH] GPIO_KEYS: If devm_add_action() fails, we are explicitly calling the cleanup to freethe resources allocated. Use the helper devm_add_action_or_reset() and return directly in case of error, since the cleanup function has been already called by the helper if there was any error.
