Subject: [PATCH v4 ]  remoteproc: Use unbounded workqueue for recovery work
Date:   Tue, 19 Apr 2022 16:55:54 +0530

There could be a scenario when there is too much load on a core
(n number of tasks which is affined) or in a case when multiple
rproc subsystem is going for recovery, they queue their recovery
work to one core so even though subsystem are independent their
recovery will be delayed if one of the subsystem recovery work
is taking more time in completing.

If we make this queue unbounded, the recovery work could be picked
on any cpu. This patch is trying to address this.
