The BCM2835 pinctrl driver acquires a spinlock in its ->irq_enable, ->irq_disable and ->irq_set_type callbacks. Spinlocks become sleeping locks with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL=y, therefore invocation of one of the callbacks in atomic context may cause a hard lockup if at least two GPIO pins in the same bank are used as interrupts. The issue doesn't occur with just a single interrupt pin per bank because the lock is never contended. I'm experiencing such lockups with GPIO 8 and 28 used as level-triggered interrupts, i.e. with ->irq_disable being invoked on reception of every IRQ. The critical section protected by the spinlock is very small (one bitop and one RMW of an MMIO register), hence converting to a raw spinlock seems a better trade-off than converting the driver to threaded IRQ handling (which would increase latency to handle an interrupt).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
