OK, will use the non GPL version.

Just for easy debug by dumping the caller function name.

Good catch, I will fix it in -v1 by reading again the timeout value in
disable_link_runtime_pm().

Good catch, I will fix it in -v1 by using system_freezable_wq.

IMO we can avoid the problem by scheduling 'link_detect_work' on the
workqueue of 'system_freezable_wq', which will be introduced in -v1.

The interrupt URB will be submitted later in link_detect_work() under
the situation of being resumed by link detect work.

Looks no race because usbnet_resume() will be run in workqueue
task context under the situation of being resumed by link detect work.
