This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: rtl8712: get rid of flush_scheduled_work
to my staging git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git in the staging-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

This patch is preparation for following patch for error handling refactoring.
flush_scheduled_work() takes (wq_completion)events lock and it can lead to deadlock when r871xu_dev_remove() is called from workqueue. To avoid deadlock sutiation we can change flush_scheduled_work() call to flush_work() call for all possibly scheduled works in this driver, since next patch adds device_release_driver() in case of fw load failure.
