You are right this is weird. I double checked and for instance,
pcie-mediatek.c, pci-tegra.c and pci-imx6.c do the exact same thing. There are
probably other cases where drivers call functions that may sleep from a NOIRQ
context. I am interested to know if this is valid and if not, what is the
alternative?


Thanks,
