Call the argument "work" as well.

Missing '\n' on error message (and skip the period).

Use dev_err.

Drop this one.

Init unconditionally.

But only schedule if > cutoff-version, possibly refactor that to an
inline helper function edge_heartbeat_reschedule().

Cancel unconditionally.

Same here.

Use helper here as well.
