[PATCH 2/2] mfd: syscon: request a regmap with raw spinlocks for some devices

[Vladimir Oltean]

This patch solves a ls-extirq irqchip driver bug in a perhaps
non-intuitive (at least non-localized) way.

The issue is that ls-extirq uses regmap, and due to the fact that it is
being called by the IRQ core under raw spinlock context, it needs to use
raw spinlocks itself. So it needs to request raw spinlocks from the
regmap config.

All is fine so far, except the ls-extirq driver does not manage its own
regmap, instead it uses syscon_node_to_regmap() to get it from the
parent syscon (this driver).

Because the syscon regmap is initialized before any of the consumer
drivers (ls-extirq) probe, we need to know beforehand whether to request
raw spinlocks or not.

The solution seems to be to check some compatible string. The ls-extirq
driver probes on quite a few NXP Layerscape SoCs, all with different
compatible strings. This is potentially fragile and subject to bit rot
(since the fix is not localized to the ls-extirq driver, adding new
compatible strings there but not here seems plausible). Anyway, it is
probably the best we can do without major rework.
