Hi Jiri,

Thanks for the feedback.

The reason why I disable interrupts is because I call
thunderstrike_update_haptics from the play_effect callback I pass to
input_ff_create_memless. From there, it is used in ml_effect_timer
drivers/input/ff-memless.c, which is a timer interrupt context so we
should disable interrupts when taking haptics_update_lock.

  static void ml_effect_timer(struct timer_list *t)
  {
    struct ml_device *ml = from_timer(ml, t, timer);
    struct input_dev *dev = ml->dev;
    unsigned long flags;

    pr_debug("timer: updating effects\n");

    spin_lock_irqsave(&dev->event_lock, flags);
    ml_play_effects(ml);
    spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev->event_lock, flags);
  }

Let me know if this seems off.
