As &chip->pm_irq_lock is acquired by pm8xxx_irq_handler() under irq
context, other process context code should disable irq before acquiring
the lock.
Since .irq_set_type and .irq_get_irqchip_state callbacks are generally
executed from process context without irq disabled by default, the same
lock acquision should disable irq.
Possible deadlock scenario
pm8xxx_irq_set_type()
-> pm8xxx_config_irq()
-> spin_lock(&chip->pm_irq_lock)
<irq interrupt>
-> pm8xxx_irq_handler()
-> pm8xxx_irq_master_handler()
-> pm8xxx_irq_block_handler()
-> pm8xxx_read_block_irq()
-> spin_lock(&chip->pm_irq_lock) (deadlock here)
This flaw was found using an experimental static analysis tool we are
developing for irq-related deadlock.
Fix the potential deadlock by spin_lock_irqsave().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
