They are not false positives because…

they tell you that the context is wrong. From looking at gpio-dln2
this is called from USB URB's callback which is softirq. In the end
dln2_gpio_event() is invoked while dln2_dev::event_cb_lock is acquired.
That lock is acquired by disabling interrupts which is what gets the
locking right for generic_handle_domain_irq(). If that lock lifted to
spin_lock_bh() (because it is always in urb's calback context and all
HCDs complete in one context unlike now) then this breaks. And
PREEMPT_RT is broken already. Therefore, last week, I've been promoting
generic_handle_domain_irq_safe()
   https://lkml.kernel.org/r/YnkfWFzvusFFktSt@linutronix.de

and sadly I missed dln2. Please let me know if you have more users
similar to dln2. I will add those to my list once upstream buys that
interface.
