Subject: [4.12 REGRESSION] pinctrl: rockchip: sleeping function called from
 atomic context

Hi,

Looks like we've added a mutex in the ->bus_lock() callback for
Rockchip's pinctrl irqchip, which triggers a CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP
warning when entering system suspend:

[  151.406483] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:238

[...]

The warning goes away if I revert commit 88bb94216f59 ("pinctrl:
rockchip: avoid hardirq-unsafe functions in irq_chip").

The thing is, the documentation (and apparent design) suggest that
calling sleeping functions from ->irq_bus_lock() is perfectly valid. I'm
not 100% following the ___might_sleep() logic, but is this complaining
because of the RCU read locking in device_wakeup_arm_wake_irqs()? I have
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU and CONFIG_PREEMPT enabled, FWIW.
