From: Anupama Kunkulagunta <akunkulagunt@nvidia.com>

On some Tegra platforms, the RT5640 codec interrupt line
is connected via a GPIO controller that operates as a
nested IRQ domain. Since nested IRQ controllers only
support threaded handlers, request_irq() returns -EINVAL:

 rt5640 3-001c: Failed to request IRQ 186: -22

Switch to request_any_context_irq() to let the kernel
pick the appropriate handler type based on the parent
IRQ controller.

Applied to

Thanks!

[1/1] ASoC: rt5640: Handle nested IRQs
      https://git.kernel.org/broonie/sound/c/b613e2b40750

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark
