Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: eic-sprd: use raw_spinlock_t in the irq startup path
sprd_eic_irq_unmask() enables the GPIO IRQ and then updates controller
state through sprd_eic_update(), which takes sprd_eic->lock with
spin_lock_irqsave(). The callback can be reached from irq_startup()
while setting up a requested IRQ. That path is not sleepable, but on
PREEMPT_RT a regular spinlock_t becomes a sleeping lock.
This issue was found by our static analysis tool and then manually
reviewed against the current tree.
The grounded PoC kept the request_threaded_irq() -> __setup_irq() ->
irq_startup() -> sprd_eic_irq_unmask() -> sprd_eic_update() carrier and
used the original spin_lock_irqsave(&sprd_eic->lock) edge. Lockdep

Convert the Spreadtrum EIC controller lock to raw_spinlock_t. The
locked section only serializes MMIO register updates and does not contain
sleepable operations, so keeping it non-sleeping is appropriate for the
irqchip callbacks.
