MHI spec defines the interrupt moderation timer feature using which the
host can limit the number of interrupts being raised for an event ring by
the device. This feature allows the host to process multiple event ring
elements by a single IRQ from the device, thereby eliminating the need to
process IRQ for each element.
The INTMODT field in the event context array provides the value to be used
for delaying the IRQ generation from device. This value, along with the
Block Event Interrupt (BEI) flag of the TRE defines how IRQ is generated to
the host.
Support for interrupt moderation timer is implemented using delayed
workqueue in kernel. And a separate delayed work item is used for each
event ring.
