[PATCH v3 35/36] usb/gadget/NCM: Replace tasklet with softirq hrtimer

From: Anna-Maria Gleixner
Date: Wed Nov 29 2017 - 10:33:37 EST


From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The tx_tasklet tasklet is used in invoke the hrtimer (task_timer) in
softirq context. This can be also achieved without the tasklet but
with HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT as hrtimer mode.
