Hello, If this is actually safe, let's do it from the get-go. Thanks! ------- 8< ------- PREPARE_[DELAYED_]WORK() are being phased out. They have few users and a nasty surprise in terms of reentrancy guarantee as workqueue considers work items to be different if they don't have the same work function. usb_hub->init_work is multiplexed with multiple work functions; however, the work item is never queued while in-flight, so we can simply use INIT_DELAYED_WORK() before each queueing. It would probably be best to route this with other related updates through the workqueue tree. Lightly tested. v2: Greg and Alan confirm that the work item is never queued while in-flight. Simply use INIT_DELAYED_WORK().
