And despite my "select IRQ_WORK", your .config file does not have
CONFIG_IRQ_WORK.

As it stands, Tasks Trace RCU needs irq_work_queue() in order to defer a
wakeup to a point in the code where it is safe to do a wakeup.  If h8300
does not support irq_work_queue(), then h8300 should not try to use
Tasks Trace RCU.

I could add something like a BUILD_BUG_ON(!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IRQ_WORK))
in order to make this restriction official.

Adding the H8300 people on CC for their thoughts.

							Thanx, Paul
