The commit "staging: bcm2835-camera: Replace open-coded idr with a struct idr."
replaced an internal implementation of an idr with the standard functions
and a spinlock. idr_alloc(GFP_KERNEL) can sleep whilst calling kmem_cache_alloc
to allocate the new node, but this is not valid whilst in an atomic context
due to the spinlock.
There is no need for this to be a spinlock as a standard mutex is
sufficient.

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.
