[PATCH 2/2] pinctrl: intel: Prevent force threading of the interrupt handler

[Mika Westerberg <mika.westerberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The pinctrl-intel needs to use request_irq() instead of chained interrupt
handling because it shares the interrupt with multiple GPIO host
controllers found on Intel CPUs. In -rt all such interrupts are forced to
run in thread context which triggers following warning:

 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 530 at kernel/irq/handle.c:151 handle_irq_event_percpu+0x23d/0x240

The handle_irq_event_* functions (and I suppose generic_handle_irq()) is
expected to be called with interrupts disabled and they rightfully complain
here because we run in thread context with interrupts enabled.

Fix this by adding IRQF_NO_THREAD flag when the master interrupt is
requested. This prevents forced threading of the interrupt used by the GPIO
host controllers.

Hi,

I'm not 100% sure this is the proper fix so adding tglx in case there is a
better alternative. It would be nice to be able to handle irqchip
interrupts from thread context.
