Subject: [PATCH 24/25 v2] net/cdc_ncm: Replace tasklet with softirq hrtimer

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

The bh tasklet is used in invoke the hrtimer (cdc_ncm_tx_timer_cb) in
softirq context. This can be also achieved without the tasklet but with
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_SOFT as hrtimer base.

I think so, too. Still untested as I don't have a working gadget around.

v1…v2: Updated as suggested by Bjørn and added Greg's Acked-by.
