As &mc->vc.lock is acquired by milbeaut_hdmac_interrupt() under irq
context, other acquisition of the same lock under process context should
disable irq, otherwise deadlock could happen if the irq preempts the
execution of process context code while the lock is held in process context
on the same CPU.

milbeaut_hdmac_chan_config(), milbeaut_hdmac_chan_resume() and
milbeaut_hdmac_chan_pause() are such callback functions not disable irq by
default.

Possible deadlock scenario:
milbeaut_hdmac_chan_config()
    -> spin_lock(&mc->vc.lock)
        <hard interruption>
        -> milbeaut_hdmac_interrupt()
        -> spin_lock(&mc->vc.lock); (deadlock here)

This flaw was found by an experimental static analysis tool I am developing
for irq-related deadlock.

The tentative patch fixes the potential deadlock by spin_lock_irqsave() in
the three callback functions to disable irq while lock is held.

Hi maintainers,

May I ask if anyone would like to review the patch?

Thanks,

while at it, maybe also use vc->lock, instead of mc->vc.lock here and
in other two places, just like the rest of driver.

thanks.

Thanks for the review, v2 patch is just sent to address the problem.

Thanks,
