[PATCH 0/2 v2] sh-sci / PM: Fix problem with runtime PM callbacks run with interrupts off

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

Hi,

> interrupts off safely.  However, the sh-sci driver needs to be able to
> clear that flag sometimes, so a new runtime PM helper for doing that
> is needed.

The previous version of this patchset was not very good as Alan pointed out,
so hopefully this one will be better.

[1/2] - Change PM subsys_data lock type into spinlock.
[2/2] - Make sh-sci use power.irq_safe to indicate that runtime PM callbacks
        may be run with interrupts off.

Thanks,
Rafael
