Are you sure about this?

In hwspin_lock_request_specific(), the spinlock is taken, then:

hwspin_lock_request_specific()

-> __hwspin_lock_request()
-> pm_runtime_get_sync()
-> __pm_runtime_resume()

This starts with:

might_sleep_if(!(rpmflags & RPM_ASYNC) && !dev->power.irq_safe &&
dev->power.runtime_status != RPM_ACTIVE);

Isn't this a problem?
