[PATCH] mfd: altera-sysmgr: enable raw spinlock feature for preempt-rt kernel

From: Meng Li

When booting up preempt rt kernel on stratix10 platform, there is
below calltrace:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/rtmutex.c:969
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 128, non_block: 0, pid: 1, name: swapper/0
Preemption disabled at:
[<ffff8000100b25b0>] __setup_irq+0xe0/0x730
CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.10.78-rt54-yocto-preempt-rt #1
Hardware name: SoCFPGA Stratix 10 SoCDK (DT)
Call trace:
......

Because regmap_write is invoked under preemption disabled status, and
might trigger sleep.
Recently, the commit 67021f25d952("regmap: teach regmap to use raw
spinlocks if requested in the config ") add an option for regmap to use
raw spinlock. So, enable raw spinlock in preempt-rt kernel to avoid the
might sleep issue.
Note: The commit 67021f25d952 is only in kernel v5.15, not included in
earlier versions. So, if intend to fix this issue in earlier preempt-rt
kernel, it is need to backport the 2 patches together, otherwise there
will be building issue.
