Ouch and good work tracking it down.  just to check, did you see this
bug happen in the wild or spotted by code inspection?

Given that timeout generally indicates hardware failure, I'm not sure
how critical this is to fix.

I don't think this fix fully closes the race - see inline.

I'd set this unconditionally.  It might already be set, but that shouldn't
be a problem.

Is this fix sufficient?  If the interrupt is being handled on a different
CPU to the caller of this function, I think we can still race enough that
this fails to fix it up.  Might need a spinlock to prevent that.

  CPU 0                                        CPU 1
ad_sd_data_rdy_trig_poll()               ad_sd_wait_and_disable()
                                       
                                         //wait_for_completion ends
					
Interrupt
                                          disable_irq()
					  if (sigma-delta->irq_dis) !true	
					  else
						sigma_delta->irq_dis = true

disable_irq_nosync(irq)
sigma_delta->irq_dis = true;

So we still end up with a doubly disabled irq.  Add a spinlock to make the
disable and the setting of sigma_delta->irq_dis atomic then it should all be fine.
