sc16is7xx: use kthread_worker for tx_work and irq Convert workqueue usage to a real-time kworker. The problem with workqueues is that we cannot set real-time priorities on our work and asynchronous reconfiguration can be blocked by less important tasks. We need kthread for the interrupt anyway and because we will now be using single kthread for all TX-related operations we can get rid of the port mutex.
