EDAC/synopsys: Fix ECC status and IRQ control race condition
The race condition around the ECCCLR register access happens in the IRQ disable method called in the device remove() procedure and in the ECC IRQ handler: 1. Enable IRQ: a. ECCCLR = EN_CE | EN_UE 2. Disable IRQ: a. ECCCLR = 0 3. IRQ handler: a. ECCCLR = CLR_CE | CLR_CE_CNT | CLR_CE | CLR_CE_CNT b. ECCCLR = 0 c. ECCCLR = EN_CE | EN_UE So if the IRQ disabling procedure is called concurrently with the IRQ handler method the IRQ might be actually left enabled due to the statement 3c. The root cause of the problem is that ECCCLR register (which since v3.10a has been called as ECCCTL) has intermixed ECC status data clear flags and the IRQ enable/disable flags. Thus the IRQ disabling (clear EN flags) and handling (write 1 to clear ECC status data) procedures must be serialised around the ECCCTL register modification to prevent the race. So fix the problem described above by adding the spin-lock around the ECCCLR modifications and preventing the IRQ-handler from modifying the IRQs enable flags (there is no point in disabling the IRQ and then re-enabling it again within a single IRQ handler call, see the statements 3a/3b and 3c above).
