regmap: teach regmap to use raw spinlocks if requested in the config
Some drivers might access regmap in a context where a raw spinlock is held. An example is drivers/irqchip/irq-ls-extirq.c, which calls regmap_update_bits() from struct irq_chip :: irq_set_type, which is a method called by __irq_set_trigger() under the desc->lock raw spin lock. Since desc->lock is a raw spin lock and the regmap internal lock for mmio is a plain spinlock (which can become sleepable on RT), this is an invalid locking scheme and we get a splat stating that this is a "[ BUG: Invalid wait context ]". It seems reasonable for regmap to have an option use a raw spinlock too, so add that in the config such that drivers can request it.
