Arnd Bergmann 538be0aa86 HID: intel_ish-hid: clarify locking in client code
I was trying to understand this code while working on a warning
fix and the locking made no sense: spin_lock_irqsave() is pointless
when run inside of an interrupt handler or nested inside of another
spin_lock_irq() or spin_lock_irqsave().

Here it turned out that the comment above the function is wrong,
as both recv_ishtp_cl_msg_dma() and recv_ishtp_cl_msg() can in fact
be called from a work queue rather than an ISR, so we do have to
use the irqsave() version once.

This fixes the comments accordingly, removes the misleading 'dev_flags'
variable and modifies the inner spinlock to not use 'irqsave'.

No functional change is intended, this is just for readability and
it slightly simplifies the object code.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
