ezusb_access_ltv() sends the prepared request to the USB device. Requests which have ->in_rid set expect an answer from the USB device and the function has to wait until the URB with the answer arrives. The function uses in_interrupt() to determine if it can simply sleep on the completion and be woken up once the answer arrives or if it needs to poll on the completion. The usage of in_interrupt() in drivers is phased out and Linus clearly requested that code which changes behaviour depending on context should either be separated or the context be conveyed in an argument passed by the caller, which usually knows the context. Aside of that in_interrupt() is not correct as it does not catch preempt disabled regions in which sleeping is also not allowed. Provide stubs which can be used as a replacement. The current default is the current behaviour which sleeps/polls depending on in_interrupt(). The goal is to audit all callers and use either the poll or sleep version.

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.
