The qpnpint_irq_set_type() callback function configures the type
(edge vs level) and polarity (high, low, or both) of a particular
PMIC interrupt within a given peripheral.  To do this, it reads
the three consecutive IRQ configuration registers, modifies the
specified IRQ bit within the register values, and finally writes
the three modified register values back to the PMIC.  While a
spinlock is used to provide mutual exclusion on the SPMI bus
during the register read and write calls, there is no locking
around the overall read, modify, write sequence.  This opens up
the possibility of a race condition if two tasks set the type of
a PMIC IRQ within the same peripheral simultaneously.

When the race condition is encountered, both tasks will read the
old value of the registers and IRQ bits set by one of the tasks
will be dropped upon the register write of the other task.  This
then leads to PMIC IRQs being enabled with an incorrect type and
polarity config...
