Subject: [PATCH] net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Add lockdep classes to fix false positive splat

The following false positive lockdep splat has been observed.

======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
4.20.0+ #302 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
systemd-udevd/160 is trying to acquire lock:
edea6080 (&chip->reg_lock){+.+.}, at: __setup_irq+0x640/0x704

but task is already holding lock:
edff0340 (&desc->request_mutex){+.+.}, at: __setup_irq+0xa0/0x704

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&desc->request_mutex);
                               lock(&chip->reg_lock);
                               lock(&desc->request_mutex);
  lock(&chip->reg_lock);

&desc->request_mutex refer to two different mutex. #1 is the GPIO for
the chip interrupt. #2 is the chained interrupt between global 1 and
global 2.

Add lockdep classes to the GPIO interrupt to avoid this.

Hi Russell

Does this fix it for you on Clearfog?
