You're right, this callchain can't cause the deadlock indeed. I'll go 
through the other possibilities.

To give some background to others reading this thread -- Leonardo (in CC) 
reported [1] that this patch fixes hard kernel hangs he has been seeing 
when using USB CDMA modem.

Still, we don't currently seem to see the place where the interrupts get 
enabled that makes the deadlock to trigger.
