this is not all drivers ..

I understand that, what I meant, you didn't really convert all drivers,
as you claim in the cover letter, all you did is converting __some__
drivers which are passing the tasklet ptr as data ptr. all other
drivers that use tasklet_init differently are not converted, and it
should be relatively easy as i explained above. 

The list of drivers using tasklet_init is longer than what you touched
in your series:
