Hi,

could you CC me on ueagle-atm.c patches.

From what I remind we sleep in the workqueue, that's why we couldn't use the
system one (freeze keyboard...). But may be the code changed.

In case when firmware is not available we can sleep for a few seconds in
work function. That's block keyboard driver who also use common workqueue.
If recent Tejun workqueue rewrite allow to long sleep in work func and
not hurt other workqueue users, patch is ok.

Unfortunately I'm not able to test the patch, my ueagle device was physically
damaged a few months ago.

Yeap, work items can sleep all they want on the system_wq.  It won't
delay execution of other work items.

Thanks.
