Re: [PATCH v11 21/37] pinctrl: airoha: fix edge-triggered interrupts handling

[sashiko-bot@kernel.org]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Double-clearing of the interrupt status creates a race condition that leads to permanently lost edge interrupts.
- [High] Accessing a syscon regmap from within IRQ flow handler callbacks violates raw lock nesting rules, causing deadlocks on PREEMPT_RT.

pinctrl: airoha: fix edge-triggered interrupts handling

This patch updates the airoha pinctrl driver to correct edge-triggered 
interrupt handling. It introduces a custom irq_ack callback and explicitly 
configures the flow handlers for edge and level interrupts.

[Severity: High]
Does this regmap_write call violate wait-type lock nesting rules on
preempt-rt systems?

With the changes to airoha_irq_type setting the flow handler to
handle_edge_irq, airoha_irq_ack is now invoked from the fast-path where a
raw_spinlock_t is held.

However, regmap_write on a syscon regmap acquires a standard spinlock_t,
which is a sleepable lock on preempt-rt kernels. Can this lead to
deadlocks or lockdep warnings?

[Severity: High]
Is it possible for this manual regmap_write to cause newly latched edge 
interrupts to be permanently lost?

Because handle_edge_irq now correctly calls airoha_irq_ack to clear the
status bit early, a new edge interrupt can latch during handler execution.

After generic_handle_domain_irq returns, this trailing regmap_write clears
the same status bit again unconditionally. If a new edge interrupt arrives
while the domain handler is executing, won't this second clear wipe it out?
