Link to RFC:
 * https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240123-fix-device-links-overlays-v1-1-9e4f6acaab6c@analog.com/

v1:
 * https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240202-fix-device-links-overlays-v1-0-f9fd1404c8e2@analog.com

Changes in v2:
 * Don't error out in case alloc_workqueue() fails. Devlinks can still
   work and we'll then release them synchronously.
 
I'm pasting again the link of the first time I exposed the issue where
one can see the resulps (big splat) of failing DT assumption:

TBH, I'm not really keen on sending a v3 just for that (unless I'm asked otherwise).
But If I have (still missing DT guys feedback), I'll do as you suggested.
