From: Lino Sanfilippo <l.sanfilippo@xxxxxxxxxx> The TIS interrupt handler at least has to read and write the interrupt status register. In case of SPI both operations result in a call to tpm_tis_spi_transfer() which uses the bus_lock_mutex of the spi device and thus must only be called from a sleepable context. To ensure this request a threaded interrupt handler.
