Subject: Re: [PATCH v4 02/11] drivers: Add hardware timestamp engine (HTE)
Hi Hillf,
The reason I used kernel thread as it will not be shared by others and can deliver payload at the earliest of course when scheduler decides to run it. The workqueue system_unbound_wq is shared by multiple subsystem and depends on the prior works scheduled in that queue. Is it ok if I retain thread approach?
