With PREEMPT_RT enabled a spinlock_t becomes a sleeping lock.
This is usually not a problem with spinlocks used in IRQ context since
IRQ handlers get threaded. However, if IRQF_ONESHOT is set, the primary
handler won't be force-threaded and runs always in hardirq context. This is
a problem because spinlock_t requires a preemptible context on PREEMPT_RT.
In this particular instance, regmap mmio uses spinlock_t to protect the
register access and IRQF_ONESHOT is set on the IRQ. In this case, it is
actually better to do everything in threaded handler and it solves the
problem with PREEMPT_RT.
