This driver generally only needs to ensure that
(a) it doesn't try to process TX interrupts at the same time as
power-save operations (and similar)
(b) the device interrupt gets disabled while we're still handling the
last set of interrupts
For (a), all the operations (e.g., PS transitions, packet handling)
happens in non-atomic contexts (e.g., threaded IRQ).
For (b), we only need mutual exclusion for brief sections (i.e., while
we're actually manipulating the interrupt mask/status).
So, we can introduce a separate lock for handling (b), disabling IRQs
while we do it. For (a), we can demote the locking to BH only, now that
(b) (the only steps done in atomic context) and that has its own lock.
This helps reduce the amount of time this driver spends with IRQs off.
Notably, transitioning out of power-save modes can take >3 milliseconds,
and this transition is done under the protection of 'irq_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.
