I think this is missing a word or two and should say:

  A spinlock_t becomes a sleeping lock on PREEMPT_RT, so it cannot be
  acquired with disabled interrupts.

pci_ops.read() is called while holding the non-sleepable
raw_spinlock_t pci_lock, so pci_ops.read() must also be non-sleepable.

It's not really relevant that "pci_ops.read() can be called with
disabled interrupts even on PREEMPT_RT".  It can *always* be called
with interrupts disabled.
