Content-Disposition: inline; filename=rtc-ds1374-convert-tasklet-to-workqueue.patch A tasklet is not suitable for what the ds1374 driver does: neither sleeping nor mutex operations are allowed in tasklets, and ds1374_set_tlet may do both. We can use a workqueue instead, where both sleeping and mutex operations are allowed.
