The driver uses runtime PM to leverage low power techniques. For
use-cases using GPIO as interrupt the device needs to be in an
appropriate state.

As pointed out by Grygorii in
commit aca82d1cbb49af34b69ecd4571a0fe48ad9247c1:

The PM runtime API can't be used in atomic contex on -RT even if
it's configured as irqsafe. As result, below error report can
be seen when PM runtime API called from IRQ chip's callbacks
irq_startup/irq_shutdown/irq_set_type, because they are
protected by RAW spinlock:
(...)
The IRQ chip interface defines only two callbacks which are executed in
non-atomic contex - irq_bus_lock/irq_bus_sync_unlock, so lets move
PM runtime calls there.

I.e. these calls are atomic context and it's just luck that it works
and this is fragile.

Can you please check if you can move it to
irq_bus_lock()/irq_sync_unlock()
like Grygorii does?


This patch rises the question not only about PM runtime, but also
about gpiochip_irq_reqres()/gpiochip_irq_relres().
