Merge tag 'wq-for-7.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq
Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo: - Continued progress toward making alloc_workqueue() unbound by default: more callers converted to WQ_PERCPU / system_percpu_wq / system_dfl_wq, and new warnings for queues that use neither WQ_PERCPU nor WQ_UNBOUND or the legacy system_wq / system_unbound_wq. - Misc: drop the now-trivial apply_wqattrs_lock()/unlock() wrappers, forbid the TEST_WORKQUEUE benchmark from being built-in, and fix a spurious pointer level in the worker debug-dump path. * tag 'wq-for-7.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: drm/bridge: anx7625: Add WQ_PERCPU add to alloc_workqueue wifi: ath6kl: fix invalid workqueue flags in ath6kl_usb_create() btrfs: Drop WQ_PERCPU from ordered_flags in btrfs_init_workqueues() workqueue: Add warnings and ensure one among WQ_PERCPU or WQ_UNBOUND is present workqueue: Add warnings and fallback if system_{unbound}_wq is used workqueue: drop spurious '*' from print_worker_info() fn declaration workqueue: forbid TEST_WORKQUEUE from being built-in workqueue: drop apply_wqattrs_lock()/unlock() wrappers umh: replace use of system_unbound_wq with system_dfl_wq rapidio: rio: add WQ_PERCPU to alloc_workqueue users media: ddbridge: add WQ_PERCPU to alloc_workqueue users platform: cznic: turris-omnia-mcu: replace use of system_wq with system_percpu_wq media: synopsys: hdmirx: replace use of system_unbound_wq with system_dfl_wq virt: acrn: Add WQ_PERCPU to alloc_workqueue users
