Most of those requirements come from code that is only relevant in
initial bringup and in our first ASIC (GOYA) for the first few months
we had it.
I'm going to remove all that code from the upstream driver as it's not
needed there.
Then, I'll go and look at all other uses of GFP_ATOMIC to see how they
can be improved/removed, maybe with pre-allocated stuff.
Thanks for pointing this out.
