[BUG] pinctrl_mcp23s08_i2c: mutex used in irq_bus_lock causes 'scheduling while atomic' with matrix_keypad

[Lukas Schmid]

Hi all,

I'm encountering a "BUG: scheduling while atomic" when using the MCP23017 GPIO 
expander with the `matrix_keypad` driver in IRQ mode on Linux v6.12.20

Hardware setup:
- MCP23017 connected via I2C
- 4x4 matrix keypad hooked to MCP23017 GPIOs
- SoC: Allwinner V3s SoC
- Using devicetree-overlay configuration for `microchip,mcp23017` and `gpio-
matrix-keypad`

When I press buttons on the keypad, after some amount of presses I get the 
following error from the Kernel:
