Matti Vaittinen 7a2c4cc537 devm-helpers: Add resource managed version of work init
A few drivers which need a work-queue must cancel work at driver detach.
Some of those implement remove() solely for this purpose. Help drivers to
avoid unnecessary remove and error-branch implementation by adding managed
verision of work initialization. This will also help drivers to avoid
mixing manual and devm based unwinding when other resources are handled by
devm.

/*
* Functions which do automatically cancel operations or release resources upon
* driver detach.
*
* These should be helpful to avoid mixing the manual and devm-based resource
* management which can be source of annoying, rarely occurring,
* hard-to-reproduce bugs.
*
* Please take into account that devm based cancellation may be performed some
* time after the remove() is ran.
*
* Thus mixing devm and manual resource management can easily cause problems
* when unwinding operations with dependencies. IRQ scheduling a work in a queue
* is typical example where IRQs are often devm-managed and WQs are manually
* cleaned at remove(). If IRQs are not manually freed at remove() (and this is
* often the case when we use devm for IRQs) we have a period of time after
* remove() - and before devm managed IRQs are freed - where new IRQ may fire
* and schedule a work item which won't be cancelled because remove() was
* already ran.
