So lets assume we are not doing all the changes in a single patch
set. Its too complex. You say the work queue should be in the
core. Lets put a work queue in the core to handle the blocking op, and
strip it out of the drivers. That allows you to get a lot of driver
patches merged.
You can then work on moving led_timer_function into the core, etc,
with a much smaller patch set, and hopefully in a number of small
steps which are easy to review.
