[PATCH v7 3/4] gpio: mxc: fix wakeup_pads bit operations

From: Peng Fan <peng.fan at nxp.com>

gpio_set_wake_irq() can be called concurrently for different pins on
the same port. The writer-vs-writer race is the concern: two concurrent
gpio_set_wake_irq() calls for different pins on the same port both do
a non-atomic read-modify-write on the same wakeup_pads word. The old
|= and &= compile to separate load/modify/store instructions that can
interleave, losing one CPU's update.

assign_bit() uses an atomic RMW instruction, so concurrent writers to
different bits in the same word are safe.

The reader side (for_each_set_bit in noirq_suspend, wakeup_pads > 0)
runs in noirq context where no concurrent writer can execute, so
reader atomicity is not needed.

wakeup_pads is a u32, while assign_bit() operates on unsigned long
pointers. On 64-bit platforms, this causes an 8-byte read-modify-write
on a 4-byte field, corrupting the adjacent is_pad_wakeup. So change
wakeup_pads to unsigned long and reorder to avoid wasting words.

And fix the enable/disable path unconditionally sets/clears the
wakeup_pads bit even when enable_irq_wake()/disable_irq_wake() fails.
Only update the bit on success.
