[PATCH] sc16is7xx: drop bogus use of IRQF_ONESHOT

From: Josh Cartwright
Date: Thu Feb 18 2016 - 12:26:25 EST


The use of IRQF_ONESHOT when registering an interrupt handler with
request_irq() is non-sensical.

Not only that, it also prevents the handler from being threaded when it
otherwise should be w/ IRQ_FORCED_THREADING is enabled. This causes the
following deadlock observed by Sean Nyekjaer on -rt:
