gpu/drm/bridge/cadence: avoid flush_scheduled_work() usage
Like commit c4f135d6 ("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.
