Hi Dimitry,

>Yes, just use the system workqueue

Ok. I won't use the polled input anymore.

>Note that I normally oppose supporting polling mode for devices that may be interrupt driven, since this normally increases power consumption.

Yes, but in my case i have no choice (the hardware don't allow to use interrupts). So The polled mode could be an option ?

Are you definitively opposed to this options ? 

Paul.
