<title>drivers: replace dev-&gt;trans_start accesses with dev_trans_start</title>

<id>4d0e965732db6f7cce78e6b8f5d3073249004c3a</id>
<content type='text'>
a trans_start struct member exists twice:
- in struct net_device (legacy)
- in struct netdev_queue

Instead of open-coding dev-&gt;trans_start usage to obtain the current
trans_start value, use dev_trans_start() instead.

This is not exactly the same, as dev_trans_start also considers
the trans_start values of the netdev queues owned by the device
and provides the most recent one.

For legacy devices this doesn't matter as dev_trans_start can cope
with netdev trans_start values of 0 (they are ignored).

This is a prerequisite to eventual removal of dev-&gt;trans_start.

The macro random_ether_addr is calling the function eth_random_addr.
Therefore, the call to random_ether_addr can be replaced with
eth_random_addr.
Remove the wrapper function rtllib_randomize_cell and replace its
call with eth_random_addr as it is wrapping random_ether_addr.

With conccurency managed workqueues, use of dedicated workqueues can
be replaced by system_wq. Drop priv_wq by using system_wq.

Since there are multiple work items per priv but they do not need
to be ordered, increase of concurrency by switching to system_wq
should not break anything.

All work items are sync canceled on so it is guaranteed that
no work is running when rtl92e_suspend function is called.
