The tasklet is an old API that should be deprecated, usually can be converted to another decent API. In ALSA core timer API, the callbacks can be offlined to a tasklet when a flag is set in the timer backend. It can be achieved gracefully with a work queued in the high-prio system workqueue. This patch replaces the usage of tasklet in ALSA timer API with a simple work. Currently the tasklet feature is used only in the system timer and hrtimer backends, so both are patched to use the new flag name SNDRV_TIMER_HW_WORK, too.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
