Hi,

This is v2 of a series to address some irq_work issues with nbcon.
Initially motivated as a workaround for hardware-related regressions
reported [0], it turns out that the workaround is actually a nice
improvement for nbcon deferred printing in general.

v1 is here [1].

The changes since v1:

- Add a preceding patch to flush the irq_work on nbcon_free(). This
pre-existing issue was reported [2] by Sashiko while it was
reviewing v1.

I have tested these on Tegra and all is working well, so for
the series ...
