Geert Uytterhoeven 24c242ec7a ntp: Use freezable workqueue for RTC synchronization 
The bug fixed by commit e3fab2f3de ("ntp: Fix RTC synchronization on
32-bit platforms") revealed an underlying issue: RTC synchronization may
happen anytime, even while the system is partially suspended.

On systems where the RTC is connected to an I2C bus, the I2C bus controller
may already or still be suspended, triggering a WARNING during suspend or
resume from s2ram:

    WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 124 at drivers/i2c/i2c-core.h:54 __i2c_transfer+0x634/0x680
    i2c i2c-6: Transfer while suspended
    [...]
    Workqueue: events_power_efficient sync_hw_clock
    [...]
      (__i2c_transfer)
      (i2c_transfer)
      (regmap_i2c_read)
      ...
      (da9063_rtc_set_time)
      (rtc_set_time)
      (sync_hw_clock)
      (process_one_work)

Fix this race condition by using the freezable instead of the normal
power-efficient workqueue.

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.
