hid_go_cfg_probe() initialises drvdata.go_cfg_setup and schedules it
to run 2 ms later:
INIT_DELAYED_WORK(&drvdata.go_cfg_setup, &cfg_setup);
schedule_delayed_work(&drvdata.go_cfg_setup, msecs_to_jiffies(2));
cfg_setup() dereferences drvdata.hdev to issue MCU command requests.
hid_go_cfg_remove() tears down sysfs and stops the HID device, ending
with hid_set_drvdata(hdev, NULL), but never drains the delayed work.
If the device is unbound within the 2 ms scheduling delay (a probe
failure rolling back via remove, or a fast rmmod after probe), the
work fires after hid_set_drvdata(NULL) has cleared the back pointer,
leaving cfg_setup() with a NULL or stale drvdata.hdev.
Mirror the sibling driver hid-lenovo-go-s.c, whose hid_gos_cfg_remove()
already calls cancel_delayed_work_sync() on its analogous work, and
drain go_cfg_setup at the top of hid_go_cfg_remove(). The cancel
must come before guard(mutex)(&drvdata.cfg_mutex) because cfg_setup()
acquires that mutex; reversing the order would deadlock.

Looks good.
