AFAIK you are supposed to provide things like this as part of your
device driver ops, ie open is probe, close is unbind, etc.

Just test the bit?

if (event->type & BIT(IIDC_EVENT_LINK_CHANGE)) ?

test_bit is the atomic version of those that matches atomic
set_bit/clear_bit

Certainly not at display-by-default level. If every driver printed
when it binds we'd have a mess.

Provide non-module parameter alternatives for all of these, and it can
be OK only because of the module alias, and only if Doug lets you
remove i40iw.

We have system global wqs. Why are they not OK?
