Should we initialize a static atomic_t? It is zero by default.

system_wq? It is not so critical, anyway the job is rearmed with 1 second interval.

I have reviewed and tested that patch. Even though it can not be applied
cleanly on the latest Paul "dev" branch feel free to use:
Reviewed-by: Uladzislau Rezki (Sony) <urezki@xxxxxxxxx>
Tested-by: Uladzislau Rezki (Sony) <urezki@xxxxxxxxx>
Also i placed some small nits, because it should be rebased on latest dev.
As for commit message i guess Paul will help :)
Thank you!
