Tasklets have long been deprecated as being too heavy on the system by running in irq context - and this is not a performance critical path. If a higher priority process wants to run, it must wait for the tasklet to finish before doing so. c67x00_do_work() will now run in process context and have further concurrency (tasklets being serialized among themselves), but this is done holding the c67x00->lock, so it should be fine. Furthermore, this patch fixes the usage of the lock in the callback as otherwise it would need to be irq-safe.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
