If data processing of an event is scheduled out because core
is busy handling multiple irqs, this can starves the processing
of MHI M0 state change event on another core. Fix this issue by
disabling irq on the core processing data events.

Please add a comment stating why we are disabling local IRQs here. This will
help in understanding the code better.
Thanks,

Can you elaborate on the scenario more?
If a device hasn't entered M0, then what event could be processed?

The scenario is following:
1. On Core 2 IPCR channel 20 transfer completion event MSI arrived which
is processed by holding Event ring 1 lock by calling spin_lock_bh() in
normal priority tasklet.
2. On Core 2 multiple irqs come in and scheduled out the event ring
processing done by #1. Due to that event ring lock remained acquired but
event ring processing for IPCR got scheduled out.
3. On Core 1, primary event ring MSI arrived for M0, which is handled by
a separate MHI hi-priority tasklet. As part of M0 state transition,
tasklet goes over event ring 1 and tries to acquire event ring 1 lock in
order to ring the event ring DB, but just gets stuck in busy wait due to
#2.
At this point tasklet is at the mercy of the muiltiple irqs handle
(which scheduled out the MHI tasklet of #1) to finish and let the MHI
normal priority tasklet to run.
