[ Upstream commit db19d3aa77612983a02bd223b3f273f896b243cf ]
There is a race condition in the CMT interrupt handler. In the interrupt handler the driver sets a driver private flag, FLAG_IRQCONTEXT. This flag is used to indicate any call to set_next_event() should not be directly propagated to the device, but instead cached. This is done as the interrupt handler itself reprograms the device when needed before it completes and this avoids this operation to take place twice.
It is unclear why this design was chosen, my suspicion is to allow the struct clock_event_device.event_handler callback, which is called while the FLAG_IRQCONTEXT is set, can update the next event without having to write to the device twice.
Unfortunately there is a race between when the FLAG_IRQCONTEXT flag is set and later cleared where the interrupt handler have already started to write the next event to the device. If set_next_event() is called in this window the value is only cached in the driver but not written. This leads to the board to misbehave, or worse lockup and produce a splat.

The design have been part of the driver since it was first merged in early 2009. It becomes increasingly harder to trigger the issue the older kernel version one tries. It only takes a few boots on v6.10-rc5, while hundreds of boots are needed to trigger it on v5.10.
Close the race condition by using the CMT channel lock for the two competing sections. The channel lock was added to the driver after its initial design.
