That sounds wrong. What about a shorted 15m cable? Is it also 9m?  Do
you have any other long cables you can test with? Is it always 1/2 the
cable length?

You don't need the work queue. You cannot spend a long time in
at803x_cable_test_start(), but you can in
at803x_cable_test_get_status(). So start the first the measurement of
the first pair in at803x_cable_test_start(), and do the rest in
of the work in at803x_cable_test_get_status().

If we see there is a common pattern of wanting
at803x_cable_test_get_status() to run immediately, not one second
later, we can change to core to support that.
