genirq: Keep chip buslock across irq_request/release_resources()
Moving the irq_request/release_resources() callbacks out of the spinlocked, irq disabled and bus locked region, unearthed an interesting abuse of the irq_bus_lock/irq_bus_sync_unlock() callbacks. The OMAP GPIO driver does merily power management inside of them. The irq_request_resources() callback of this GPIO irqchip calls a function which reads a GPIO register. That read aborts now because the clock of the GPIO block is not magically enabled via the irq_bus_lock() callback. Move the callbacks under the bus lock again to prevent this. In the free_irq() path this requires to drop the bus_lock before calling synchronize_irq() and reaquiring it before calling the irq_release_resources() callback. The bus lock can't be held because: 1) The data which has been changed between bus_lock/un_lock is cached in the irq chip driver private data and needs to go out to the irq chip via the slow bus (usually SPI or I2C) before calling synchronize_irq(). That's the reason why this bus_lock/unlock magic exists in the first place, as you cannot do SPI/I2C transactions while holding desc->lock with interrupts disabled. 2) synchronize_irq() will actually deadlock, if there is a handler on flight. These chips use threaded handlers for obvious reasons, as they allow to do SPI/I2C communication. When the threaded handler returns then bus_lock needs to be taken in irq_finalize_oneshot() as we need to talk to the actual irq chip once more. After that the threaded handler is marked done, which makes synchronize_irq() return. So if we hold bus_lock accross the synchronize_irq() call, the handler cannot mark itself done because it blocks on the bus lock. That in turn makes synchronize_irq() wait forever on the threaded handler to complete.... Add the missing unlock of desc->request_mutex in the error path of __free_irq() and add a bunch of comments to explain the locking and protection rules.
