We will soon serialize access to the descriptor label using SRCU. The write-side of the protection will require calling synchronize_srcu() which must not be called from atomic context. We have two irq helpers: gpiochip_lock_as_irq() and gpiochip_unlock_as_irq() that set the label if the GPIO is not requested but is being used as interrupt. They are called with a spinlock held from the interrupt subsystem. They must not do it if we are to use SRCU so instead let's move the special corner case to a dedicated getter. First: let's implement and use the getter where it's applicable.

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.
