Sorry for pointing that out in a second review, but this just came to mind...
...better late than never, right?

Instead of spinlock_t, we should use raw_spinlock_t: on non-PREEMPT_RT kernels,
spinlocks are mapped to raw spinlocks but, on PREEMPT_RT, those have a different
implementation that's giving a lot of overhead, being based on rtmutex.

If we use raw_spinlock_t we can avoid that kind of overhead in PREEMPT_RT
configurations.

Can you please switch to raw_spinlock_xxxx?

There's also another comment, check below.

Unlock the spinlock after setting CHANNEL_READY, otherwise, we may signal that
we're ready *while* another CPU is writing data to the bus, getting back again
to the same lockup that you're trying to solve :-)

P.S.: Same for write_cmd, of course.

P.P.S.: Adding Chen-Yu to the Cc's as he is surely interested in this one as well.

Cheers!
