[PATCH v2] sc16is7xx: Drop bogus use of IRQF_ONESHOT

From: Julia Cartwright
Date: Thu Oct 13 2016 - 11:45:02 EST


From: Josh Cartwright <joshc@xxxxxx>

The use of IRQF_ONESHOT when registering an interrupt handler with
request_irq() is non-sensical.

Not only that, it also prevents the handler from being threaded when it
otherwise should be w/ IRQ_FORCED_THREADING is enabled. This causes the
following deadlock observed by Sean Nyekjaer on -rt:
