[PATCH] sc16is7xx: Drop bogus use of IRQF_ONESHOT

[Julia Cartwright]

The use of IRQF_ONESHOT when registering an interrupt handler with
request_irq() is non-sensical.

Not only that, it also prevents the handler from being threaded when it
otherwise should be w/ IRQ_FORCED_THREADING is enabled.  This causes the
following deadlock observed by Sean Nyekjaer on -rt:

Disabling the irq when kthread is pending as mentioned here:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-rt-users/msg14673.html

could be beneficial but this is definitely a step in the right
direction!

Thanks a lot Julia!

[PATCH v2] sc16is7xx: Drop bogus use of IRQF_ONESHOT

[Julia Cartwright]

From: Josh Cartwright <joshc@ni.com>

The use of IRQF_ONESHOT when registering an interrupt handler with
request_irq() is non-sensical.

Not only that, it also prevents the handler from being threaded when it
otherwise should be w/ IRQ_FORCED_THREADING is enabled.  This causes the
following deadlock observed by Sean Nyekjaer on -rt:
