The sirf atlas7 pinctrl drivers currently implement an irq_chip for
handling interrupts; due to how irq_chip handling is done, it's
necessary for the irq_chip methods to be invoked from hardirq context,
even on a a real-time kernel. Because the spinlock_t type becomes a
"sleeping" spinlock w/ RT kernels, it is not suitable to be used with
irq_chips.
A quick audit of the operations under the lock reveal that they do only
minimal, bounded work, and are therefore safe to do under a raw spinlock.
