Hi Bartosz,

Thanks for the review.

Please find below the issue scenario:
In the case when HARDIRQ-safe -> HARDIRQ-unsafe lock order is detected
and interrupt occurs, deadlock could occur.

========================================================
WARNING: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected
5.18.0-rc6 #4 Not tainted
--------------------------------------------------------
swapper/3/0 just changed the state of lock:
ffff000110904cd8 (lock_class){-...}-{2:2}, at: handle_fasteoi_ack_irq+0x2c/0x1b0
but this lock took another, HARDIRQ-unsafe lock in the past:
 (&txgpio->lock){+.+.}-{2:2}


and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them.


other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&txgpio->lock);
                               local_irq_disable();
                               lock(lock_class);
                               lock(&txgpio->lock);
  <Interrupt>
    lock(lock_class);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

==========================================================
