    pinctrl: sirf: atlas7: make use of raw_spinlock variants · 82e529c1
    Julia Cartwright authored
    The sirf atlas7 pinctrl drivers currently implement an irq_chip for
    handling interrupts; due to how irq_chip handling is done, it's
    necessary for the irq_chip methods to be invoked from hardirq context,
    even on a a real-time kernel.  Because the spinlock_t type becomes a
    "sleeping" spinlock w/ RT kernels, it is not suitable to be used with
    irq_chips.
    
    A quick audit of the operations under the lock reveal that they do only
    minimal, bounded work, and are therefore safe to do under a raw spinlock.
