Minor issue. The upstream commit 
8318d6a6362f5903edb4c904a8dd447e59be4ad1 "workqueue: Shorten 
events_freezable_power_efficient name" goes with this patch. Otherwise 
the warning "kernel: workqueue: name exceeds WQ_NAME_LEN. Truncating to: 
events_freezable_power_efficien" occurs.

Same for 6.7.11-rc2 and 6.6.23-rc2.
