We initially introduced a spin lock to ensure that the VPU registers are not accessed concurrently between our setup function and IRQ handler. The V4L2 M2M API ensures that only one decoding job runs at a time, so the interrupt signaling the end of decoding will not occur while the next picture is being configured. Spurious interrupts are taken care of in the handler, by checking that we have a valid M2M context and a decoding status available before marking the buffers as done. In addition, holding a spin lock could be problematic if non-atomic operations are required in the setup process for future codec support. As a result, remove the global IRQ spin lock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
