intel_th: Fix a deadlock in modprobing
Driver initialization tries to request a hub (GTH) driver module from its probe callback, resulting in a deadlock. This patch solves the problem by adding a deferred work for requesting the hub module. Signed-off-by: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 4.4.x-
