[PATCH] irqchip/irq-mtk-sysirq: drop unnecessary spinlock

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski@baylibre.com>

This driver takes a regular spinlock when a raw spinlock is already
taken which results in the following lockdep splat:

=============================
[ BUG: Invalid wait context ]
5.7.0-rc6-02446-gb9827c0a9fe7-dirty #1 Not tainted
-----------------------------
swapper/0/0 is trying to lock:
ffffff800303b798 (&chip_data->lock){....}-{3:3}, at: mtk_sysirq_set_type+0x48/0xc0
other info that might help us debug this:

We don't need the spinlock here - the irq_set_type() callback is always
called with the irq_desc->lock taken. This removes the spinlock entirely.

It looks really great. Not.

Sight... Do you realize that these two locks do not protect the same
thing at all? One protects the interrupt data, and the other protects
the MMIO register which is shared between multiple interrupts, and
on which the driver performs a RMW.

Thanks to the removal of this spinlock, two irq_set_type() can execute
in parallel and silently corrupt the register. Not exactly an 
improvement.

Eek I missed the fact that the internal lock is tied to the chip, not
the interrupt. In that case I'll convert this spinlock to a raw one.
