SubjectRe: [PATCH] remoteproc: Create a separate workqueue for recovery tasks

You should be able to write this more succinctly. The important part is
that you want an unbound work queue to allow recovery to happen in
parallel - which naturally implies that you care about recovery latency.

This doesn't describe why you need the higher priority.


I believe, and certainly with the in-line coredump, that we're running
our recovery work for way too long to be queued on the system_wq. As
such the content of the patch looks good!
