The code has been in a irq-disabled context since it is hard IRQ. There
is no necessity to do it again.

Thanks for your patch!

Is this also true if CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y, and all irq handlers execute
in the context of special tasks?

On RT or even on mainline with 'threadirqs' on the command line all
interrupts which are not explicitly requested with IRQF_NO_THREAD run
their handlers in thread context. The same applies to soft interrupts.

That means they are subject to the normal scheduler rules and no other
code is going to acquire that lock from hard interrupt context either,
so the irqsave() here is pointless in all cases.

Famous last words...

  ... unless the driver does magic things like having a hrtimer armed
  which expires in hard interrupt context and touches the very same
  lock, but that's not the case in this particular driver.

So the change itself is correct, but the change log could do with some
polishing. :)

Thanks,

        tglx

Whe resending with the log improved, please fix the subject:

thermal: rcar: Replace ...

Thanks
