Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] uio: use threaded interrupts
Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2024 16:55:36 +1200

Split the existing uio_interrupt into a hardirq handler and a thread
function. The hardirq handler deals with the interrupt source in
hardware, the thread function notifies userspace that there is an event
to be handled.

Notes:
    I find myself needing to have a UIO interrupt associated with an
    interrupt pin on a PCA9539 (yes I know, it's a terrible chip but HW
    engineers love it because it's cheap).
   =20
    Prior to this the UIO registration fails with:
   =20
      [    6.484699] uio_pdrv_genirq detect-gpio-9: unable to register ui=
o device
      [    6.484722] uio_pdrv_genirq detect-gpio-9: probe with driver uio=
_pdrv_genirq failed with error -22
   =20
    The -EINVAL ultimately comes from __setup_irq() where it knows the
    interrupt descriptor is nested but we haven't provided a thread_fn.
   =20
    Changes in v3:
    - Update kerneldoc comment for uio_interrupt_handler()
    - Add kerneldoc comment for uio_interrupt_thread()
    Changes in v2:
    - None
