Can you describe how this can happen?
If the system workqueue is that much congested then how can anything work?

We use threaded irq as well and that is also using system queue afaik, I'm not sure how this helps.

dev_err(dev, "error: failed to create sof_pcm_wq\n");
}

/* set default timeouts if none provided */
