The devm_free_irq() and devm_request_irq() functions should not be
executed in an atomic context.

During device suspend, all userspace processes and most kernel threads
are frozen. Additionally, we flush all tx/rx status, disable all macb
interrupts, and halt rx operations. Therefore, it is safe to split the
region protected by bp->lock into two independent sections, allowing
devm_free_irq() and devm_request_irq() to run in a non-atomic context.
This modification resolves the following lockdep warning:
