Workqueue core implementation

Workqueue core implementation

[Vincent Donnefort]

Hi Jacek,

I saw on your git branch "linux-leds/devel" that you are working on a
core solution for workqueues with the new led_set_brightness_nopm()
function and thus you are removing workqueues from leds-* drivers.

Since I'll need to add GPIO can_sleep support to a LED driver, I'm
interested to know when are you planning to merge this work, to avoid
to submit a patch to add workqueue which will be quickly deprecated.

Thanks,
Vincent.

I need some acks for these patches. I've already collected a few [1],
but there hasn't been any reply to the patch [2] so far, which removes
the reasons for modifications requested by Sakari in the thread [1].
Now I am waiting for his review of the patch [2] (btw it should be
version 3,1, and not 10.1 - I counted mistakenly also previous RFC
patch sets this time). Nevertheless, if I got acks, or even Tested-by
from you, it would speed up the things significantly.

Cc Sakari.
