[PATCH 2/2] alpha: marvel: Fix lock ordering in init_io7_irqs()

Message-ID <[email protected]>
Move irq_set_chip_and_handler() and irq_set_status_flags() calls
outside the io7->irq_lock raw spinlock.  These functions take
sparse_irq_lock, which is a mutex, and taking a sleeping lock while
holding a raw spinlock is invalid.  The raw spinlock only needs to
protect the hardware CSR accesses.

This fixes the following lockdep splat during boot:

  [ BUG: Invalid wait context ]
  swapper/0/0 is trying to lock:
  sparse_irq_lock{....}-{4:4}, at: irq_mark_irq
  other info that might help us debug this:
  context-{5:5}
  1 lock held by swapper/0/0:
   #0: &io7->irq_lock{....}-{2:2}, at: init_io7_irqs.constprop.0
