I can confirm that this works for iio-trig-sysfs on 5.4.54-rt32. Currently I 
do not use iio-trig-hrtimer, but if I remember correctly, the problem was also 
present there.

Do you want to apply your patch for mainline? In contrast to v5.4, 
IRQ_WORK_HARD_IRQ is already available there (moved to smp_types.h). 
Unfortunately I cannot test it on mainline for now, as my BSP stuff is not 
ported yet.

Best regards
Christian
