[PATCH 1/6] staging/most, dim2: convert dim2_tasklet to threaded irq

[Davidlohr Bueso]

Tasklets have long been deprecated as being too heavy on the system
by running in irq context - and this is not a performance critical
path. If a higher priority process wants to run, it must wait for
the tasklet to finish before doing so. A more suitable equivalent
is to converted to threaded irq instead and service channels in
regular task context.
