From 21658522b00d047212d7a78cb749648ff3bfeb04 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Fertser Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2009 00:41:15 +0400 Subject: pcf50633: use a dedicated workqueue for irq processing Using the default kernel "events" workqueue causes problems with synchronous adc readings if initiated from some task on the same workqueue. I had a deadlock trying to use pcf50633_adc_sync_read from a power_supply class driver because the reading was initiated from the workqueue and it waited for the irq processing to complete (to get the result) and that was put on the same workqueue.
