Your driver, as that's the one allocating the struct work_struct thingy.

You've either failed to use INIT_WORK() or need to use
INIT_WORK_ONSTACK() if that's appropriate. It looks like you could have
used DECLARE*_WORK inside a function or something similar.

Anyway, without the driver code present I can't really say much more.
