Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 6/8] gpio: timberdale: Fix potential deadlock on &tgpio->lock

From: Chengfeng Ye <dg573847474@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 9e8bc2dda5a7a8e2babc9975f4b11c9a6196e490 ]

As timbgpio_irq_enable()/timbgpio_irq_disable() callback could be
executed under irq context, it could introduce double locks on
&tgpio->lock if it preempts other execution units requiring
the same locks.

timbgpio_gpio_set()
--> timbgpio_update_bit()
--> spin_lock(&tgpio->lock)
<interrupt>
   --> timbgpio_irq_disable()
   --> spin_lock_irqsave(&tgpio->lock)

This flaw was found by an experimental static analysis tool I am
developing for irq-related deadlock.

To prevent the potential deadlock, the patch uses spin_lock_irqsave()
on &tgpio->lock inside timbgpio_gpio_set() to prevent the possible
deadlock scenario.
