Subject: [PATCH 5.10 055/215] pinctrl: mcp23s08: fix race condition in irq handler

From: Radim Pavlik <radim.pavlik@...-biometrics.com>

[ Upstream commit 897120d41e7afd9da435cb00041a142aeeb53c07 ]

Checking value of MCP_INTF in mcp23s08_irq suggests that the handler may be
called even when there is no interrupt pending.

But the actual interrupt could happened between reading MCP_INTF and MCP_GPIO.
In this situation we got nothing from MCP_INTF, but the event gets acknowledged
on the expander by reading MCP_GPIO. This leads to losing events.

Fix the problem by not reading any register until we see something in MCP_INTF.

The error was reproduced and fix tested on MCP23017.
