Philipp Rosenberger 995585ecdf net: enc28j60: Use threaded interrupt instead of workqueue ...

The Microchip ENC28J60 SPI Ethernet driver schedules a work item from
the interrupt handler because accesses to the SPI bus may sleep.

On PREEMPT_RT (which forces interrupt handling into threads) this
old-fashioned approach unnecessarily increases latency because an
interrupt results in first waking the interrupt thread, then scheduling
the work item.  So, a double indirection to handle an interrupt.

Avoid by converting the driver to modern threaded interrupt handling.
