OK, you're going to have to help me out a bit. There are too many
dots here, and I can't get them all connected.
Is it a general rule that handlers that call generic_handle_irq() must
use IRQF_NO_THREAD? I'm trying to figure out how the writer of a
driver like imx6 is supposed to know to use IRQF_NO_THREAD.
This patch fixes an error in the driver, so the changelog should say
exactly what the error is. I don't completely understand the lockdep
output, but I think this will be along the lines of:
Path A disables IRQs in F1 and acquires desc->lock in F2.
Path B acquires desc->lock in F3 with IRQs enabled.
Path B may be interrupted after acquiring desc->lock, and
we may deadlock if we try to acquire desc->lock again in path A.
Can you sketch this out in the changelog, squash the other driver
patches into this one, and post a v2?
