We already have three threads:
ath/ath10k/core.c: ar->workqueue =
create_singlethread_workqueue("ath10k_wq");
ath/ath10k/core.c: ar->workqueue_aux =
create_singlethread_workqueue("ath10k_aux_wq");
ath/ath10k/sdio.c: ar_sdio->workqueue =
create_singlethread_workqueue("ath10k_sdio_wq");
Do we really need a fourth one? For example, why can't we use
ar->workqueue_aux?
