commit 4e5518ca53be29c1ec3c00089c97bef36bfed515 upstream.

pcmcia_request_irq() and pcmcia_enable_device() are intended
to be called from process context (first function allocate memory
with GFP_KERNEL, second take a mutex). We can not take spin lock
and call them.

It's safe to move spin lock after pcmcia_enable_device() as we
still hold off IRQ until dev->base_addr is 0 and driver will
not proceed with interrupts when is not ready.

Yes - I think this patch is correct. I didn't drill deep enough to notice the GFP_KERNEL memory allocation. However, I think there is still a problem with the interrupt handler which will only be noticed if there is another active device on the same shared interrupt. Shouldn't it return IRQ_NONE? See attached.
