spi/davinci: use request_threaded_irq() to fix deadlock With RT pre-empt patch applied to Linux kernel, the irq handler will be force converted to an irq thread. spi driver can get back to back messages from the slave device. In such cases, IRQ thread doesn't get a chance to run to read the slave data. Hence the irq handler must be run in hard irq context to read/write data from slave device. Otherwise, the kernel goes into a deadlock. This patch fixes this issue when PREEMPT_RT_FULL is enabled in the kernel. A dummy thread function is provided to satisfy the request_threaded_irq() API. Passing a NULL for function also causes the irq handler to be executed in the thread context.
