CVE-2025-21684: gpio: xilinx: Convert gpio_lock to raw spinlock
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: xilinx: Convert gpio_lock to raw spinlock
irq_chip functions may be called in raw spinlock context. Therefore, we
must also use a raw spinlock for our own internal locking.
This fixes the following lockdep splat:
