Like commit c4f135d643 ("workqueue: Wrap flush_workqueue() using a
macro") says, flush_scheduled_work() is dangerous and will be forbidden.
We are on the way for removing all flush_scheduled_work() callers from
the kernel, and this patch is for removing flush_scheduled_work() call
from cadence driver.
Since cdns-mhdp8546 driver uses 4 works
mhdp->modeset_retry_work
mhdp->hpd_work
mhdp->hdcp.check_work
mhdp->hdcp.prop_work
I assume that flush_scheduled_work() in cdns_mhdp_remove() needs to wait
for only these 4 works.
Since mhdp->modeset_retry_work already uses cancel_work_sync(), I assume
that flush_scheduled_work() needs to wait for only 3 works. But I came to
wonder whether mhdp->hdcp.check_work should be flushed or cancelled.
While flush_scheduled_work() waits for completion of works which were
already queued to system_wq, mhdp->hdcp.check_work is a delayed work.
That is, this work won't be queued to system_wq unless timeout expires.
Current code will wait for mhdp->hdcp.check_work only if timeout already
expired. If timeout is not expired yet, flush_scheduled_work() will fail
to cancel mhdp->hdcp.check_work, and cdns_mhdp_hdcp_check_work() which is
triggered by mhdp->hdcp.check_work will schedule hdcp->check_work, which
is too late for flush_scheduled_work() to wait for completion of
cdns_mhdp_hdcp_prop_work().
But since I couldn't get comments on how do we want to handle this race
window [1], this patch chose "do nothing" for mhdp->hdcp.check_work and
mhdp->hdcp.prop_work. That is, I assume that flush_scheduled_work() in
cdns_mhdp_remove() needs to wait for only mhdp->hpd_work work.
