Currently I do not use iio-trig-hrtimer, but if I remember correctly, the problem was also present there. Do you want to apply your patch for mainline? In contrast to v5.4, IRQ_WORK_HARD_IRQ is already available there (moved to smp_types.h). Unfortunately I cannot test it on mainline for now, as my BSP stuff is not ported yet. Best regards Christian
