The driver may sleep with holding a spinlock.

The function call paths (from bottom to top) in Linux-4.16 are:

kernel/irq/manage.c, 1238: _raw_spin_lock_irqsave in __setup_irq

Note that [FUNC_PTR] means a function pointer call is used.

I do not find a good way to fix, so I only report.
Maybe adp5588_gpio_direction_input() and adp5588_gpio_write() should not 
be called in adp5588_irq_set_type().
This is found by my static analysis tool (DSAC).
