pinctrl/amd: Use regular interrupt instead of chained
The AMD pinctrl driver uses a chained interrupt to demultiplex the GPIO interrupts. Kevin Vandeventer reported, that his new AMD Ryzen locks up hard on boot when the AMD pinctrl driver is initialized. The reason is an interrupt storm. It's not clear whether that's caused by hardware or firmware or both. Using chained interrupts on X86 is a dangerous endavour. If a system is misconfigured or the hardware buggy there is no safety net to catch an interrupt storm. Convert the driver to use a regular interrupt for the demultiplex handler. This allows the interrupt storm detector to catch the malfunction and lets the system boot up. This should be backported to stable because it's likely that more users run into this problem as the AMD Ryzen machines are spreading.
