gpio: timberdale: Fix potential deadlock on &tgpio->lock
As timbgpio_irq_enable()/timbgpio_irq_disable() callback could be executed under irq context, it could introduce double locks on &tgpio->lock if it preempts other execution units requiring the same locks. timbgpio_gpio_set() --> timbgpio_update_bit() --> spin_lock(&tgpio->lock) <interrupt> --> timbgpio_irq_disable() --> spin_lock_irqsave(&tgpio->lock) This flaw was found by an experimental static analysis tool I am developing for irq-related deadlock. To prevent the potential deadlock, the patch uses spin_lock_irqsave() on &tgpio->lock inside timbgpio_gpio_set() to prevent the possible deadlock scenario.
