[PATCH v2 0/3] firewire: ohci: use regular workqueue to handle 1394 OHCI AT/AR context events

Hi,

This is the revised version of v1 patchset[1].

Last year, in Linux kernel v6.12, the bottom-halves for isochronous
contexts of 1394 OHCI PCI driver were changed to use workqueue instead of
tasklet (softIRQ)[2]. I have received no reports of any issues related to the
change until today. Therefore, I believe it's time to move on to the next
step.

This patchset updates the driver to use a regular workqueue (not WQ_BH) to
handle 1394 OHCI AT/AR context events. Unlike isochronous contexts, the
asynchronous contexts are used by the implementation of the SCSI over
IEEE 1394 protocol (sbp2). The workqueue is allocated with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM
flag so that it can still participate in memory reclaim paths.

With this change, all remaining uses of tasklets in the subsystem are
completely removed.
