This callback is pkg_temp_thermal_platform_thermal_notify. Here to avoid multiple interrupts from cores in a package, we disable the source and also set a variable to avoid scheduling delayed work function. This variable is protected via spin_lock_irqsave. On one buggy platform, we still receiving interrupts even if the source is disabled. This can cause deadlock/lockdep warning, when interrupt is generated while under spinlock in work function. Change spin_lock to spin_lock_irqsave and spin_unlock to spin_unlock_irqrestore as the data it is trying to protect can also be modified in a notification call called from interrupt handler.
