alloc_workqueue replaces deprecated create_workqueue().
In if_sdio.c, the workqueue card->workqueue has workitem
&card->packet_worker, which is mapped to if_sdio_host_to_card_worker.
The workitem is involved in sending packets to firmware.
Forward progress under memory pressure is a requirement here.
In if_spi.c, the workqueue card->workqueue has workitem
&card->packet_worker, which is mapped to if_spi_host_to_card_worker.
The workitem is involved in sending command packets from the host.
Forward progress under memory pressure is a requirement here.
Dedicated workqueues have been used in both cases since the workitems
on the workqueues are involved in normal device operation with
WQ_MEM_RECLAIM set to gurantee forward progress under memory pressure.
Since there are only a fixed number of work items, explicit concurrency
limit is unnecessary.
flush_workqueue is unnecessary since destroy_workqueue() itself calls
drain_workqueue() which flushes repeatedly till the workqueue
becomes empty. Hence the calls to flush_workqueue() before
destroy_workqueue() have been dropped.

Sure. Will keep that in mind.

"libertas:" as a prefix is enough, no need to put the full path to the
title. I can fix that this time.
You can actually check yourself what prefix is commonly used in a
particular file or directory:
$ git log --oneline --no-merges -10 drivers/net/wireless/marvell/libertas/
