From: Hongbo Zhang <hongbo.zhang@freescale.com>

The usage of spin_lock_irqsave() is a stronger locking mechanism than is
required throughout the driver. The minimum locking required should be used
instead. Interrupts will be turned off and context will be saved, it is
unnecessary to use irqsave.

This patch changes all instances of spin_lock_irqsave() to spin_lock_bh(). All
manipulation of protected fields is done using tasklet context or weaker, which
makes spin_lock_bh() the correct choice.

okay here is the problem :(

You moved to _bh variant. So if you grab the lock in rest of the code
and irq gets triggered then here we will be spinning to grab the lock.
So effectively you made right locking solution into deadlock situation!

If the rest code grabs lock by spin_lock_bh(), and if irq raised, the 
tasklet could not be executed because it has been disabled by the _bh 
variant function.
Right?

yes if you are accessing resources only in tasklet and rest of the code, then
_bh variant works well. The problem here is usage in irq handler

The name dma_do_tasklet may mislead, it is tasklet handler, not irq 
handler, not a trigger to load tasklet.
the irq handler is fsldma_chan_irq, and I don't use lock in it.

If it is the problem, I would like to change dma_do_tasklet to 
dma_tasklet to eliminate misleading.

sorry my bad, i misread this as code in fsldma_chan_irq() insteadof
dma_do_tasklet(). In that case patch is doing the right thing.

OK, so I will send a v2 series with only updating 3/7 soon.
