[ Upstream commit 04d390af97f2c28166f7ddfe1a6bda622e3a4766 ]

The interrupt handler iio_trigger_generic_data_rdy_poll() will invoke
other interrupt handler and this supposed to happen from within the
hardirq.

Use IRQF_NO_THREAD to forbid forced-threading.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

`IRQF_NO_THREAD` has been available for a long time (it's a well-
established flag).

### Classification

This is a **bug fix for PREEMPT_RT kernels**. Without `IRQF_NO_THREAD`:
1. On PREEMPT_RT, the interrupt handler gets force-threaded
2. The handler runs in thread context instead of hardirq context
3. `iio_trigger_poll()` calls `generic_handle_irq()` which checks
   `in_hardirq()`
4. The check fails → `WARN_ON_ONCE` fires → sub-IRQ is not dispatched →
   **IIO trigger doesn't work**

This is not a theoretical issue — it's a complete functional breakage of
IIO triggers on PREEMPT_RT kernels.

### Scope and Risk Assessment

- **4 files changed**, each with a one-line flag addition
- No behavioral change on non-RT kernels (the flag is ignored when not
  force-threading)
- No risk of regression — `IRQF_NO_THREAD` is a well-understood, widely-
  used flag
- The fix is purely additive (adding a flag to existing IRQ registration
  calls)

### Risk vs Benefit

- **Risk**: Extremely low. Adding `IRQF_NO_THREAD` only prevents force-
  threading on RT kernels. On non-RT kernels, this flag is a no-op.
- **Benefit**: Fixes complete IIO trigger breakage for these four sensor
  drivers on PREEMPT_RT kernels.

### Concerns

1. **Scope**: This only fixes 4 of 19+ drivers that use
   `iio_trigger_generic_data_rdy_poll`. There may be other drivers
   needing the same fix, but each fix is self-contained.
2. **Dependencies**: None. This is a simple flag addition that applies
   cleanly.
3. **Affected versions**: Any kernel with PREEMPT_RT support and these
   IIO drivers.

### Verification

- Read `iio_trigger_generic_data_rdy_poll()` at
  `drivers/iio/industrialio-trigger.c:212` — confirmed it calls
  `iio_trigger_poll()` which calls `generic_handle_irq()` at line 204
- Read `iio_trigger_poll()` comment at line 193: "This function should
  only be called from a hard IRQ context" — confirmed the hardirq
  requirement
- Read `kernel/irq/irqdesc.c:666`: confirmed `WARN_ON_ONCE(!in_hardirq()
  ...)` check that would trigger if called from thread context
- Read `ad7766_irq()` at `drivers/iio/adc/ad7766.c:187-191`: confirmed
  it also calls `iio_trigger_poll()` directly, same issue
- Confirmed `IRQF_NO_THREAD` is defined in
  `include/linux/interrupt.h:83` and has been available for a long time
- Confirmed author Sebastian Andrzej Siewior is the PREEMPT_RT
  maintainer — this is from someone with deep expertise
- Confirmed reviewer Andy Shevchenko and IIO maintainer Jonathan Cameron
  signed off
- `PREEMPT_RT` config option exists since at least v5.x (2019), so this
  affects stable trees
- Confirmed no behavioral change on non-RT kernels (IRQF_NO_THREAD is
  ignored when not force-threading)

### Conclusion

This is a small, surgical, obviously correct fix for a real bug that
causes complete IIO trigger failure on PREEMPT_RT kernels. It adds
`IRQF_NO_THREAD` to four IRQ registrations where the handler must run in
hardirq context (because it calls `generic_handle_irq()`). The fix has
zero risk on non-RT kernels and is essential for RT kernel users. It
meets all stable kernel criteria: fixes a real bug, is small and
contained, is obviously correct, and doesn't introduce new features.

**YES**
