To avoid potential deadlock in spin_lock usage, change to use
spin_lock_irqsave(), spin_unlock_irqrestore() in process(thread_fn) context.
spin_lock(), spin_unlock() under handler context.

remove unused local_irq_save/restore call.

Was verified on stm32f469-disco board. need more test on stm32mp platform.

You shouldn't have to check for this, see the other patches on the list
recently that fixed this up to not be an issue for irq handlers.

thanks,
