Quoting the header comments, IRQF_ONESHOT is "Used by threaded interrupts which need to keep the irq line disabled until the threaded handler has been run.". When applied to an interrupt that doesn't request a threaded irq then IRQF_ONESHOT has a lesser known (undocumented?) side effect, which it to disable the forced threading of irqs. For "normal" kernels if there is no thread_fn then IRQF_ONESHOT is a nop. In this case disabling forced threading is not appropriate because the driver calls wake_up_all() (via msm_hdmi_i2c_irq) and also directly uses the regular spinlock API for locking (in msm_hdmi_hdcp_irq() ). Neither of these APIs can be called from no-thread interrupt handlers on PREEMPT_RT systems. Fix this by removing IRQF_ONESHOT.
