Therefore the suggested change system_long_wq -> system_dfl_long_wq should
not make a difference here: it is a different workqueue and it is unbound
(instead of per-CPU) but given the usage it is unchanged but more obvious.
Also its usage recommendations (use this for long running items) is the
same.
The plan is remove system_long_wq from the tree.
The point Oliver was making is that the driver shouldn't be using a
general-purpose workqueue at all. Switching from one general-purpose
workqueue to another ignores this point; it's not the right thing to do.
I read this as "this driver should switch to its own work queue", correct?
