| |
A few drivers which need a work-queue must cancel work at driver detach. Some of those implement remove() solely for this purpose. Help drivers to avoid unnecessary remove and error-branch implementation by adding managed verision of work initialization. This will also help drivers to avoid mixing manual and devm based unwinding when other resources are handled by devm.
