Hi Greg,
Yes Guenter's suspicion is right. Mine was conflicting with Han's
following patch:
commit 5f2b8d87bca528616e04344d1fc4032dc5ec0f3d
Author: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Fri Jul 24 19:46:57 2020 +0200
usb: typec: tcpm: Move mod_delayed_work(&port->vdm_state_machine)
call into tcpm_queue_vdm()
All callers of tcpm_queue_vdm() immediately follow the tcpm_queue_vdm()
vdm call with a:
mod_delayed_work(port->wq, &port->vdm_state_machine, 0);
Call, fold this into tcpm_queue_vdm() itself.
