The MSM pinctrl driver currently implements an irq_chip for handling
GPIO interrupts; due to how irq_chip handling is done, it's necessary
for the irq_chip methods to be invoked from hardirq context, even on a
a real-time kernel. Because the spinlock_t type becomes a "sleeping"
spinlock w/ RT kernels, it is not suitable to be used with irq_chips.
A quick audit of the operations under the lock reveal that they do only
minimal, bounded work, and are therefore safe to do under a raw
spinlock.
On real-time kernels, this fixes an OOPs which looks like the following,
as reported by Brian Wrenn:

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
