Bottom halves being disabled

[Ed Co]

Hi All,

In the NOR driver code, the spin locks are acquired
everywhere with bottom halves disabled using the
spin_lock_bh() API. My doubt is why are the bottom
halves disabled? (Doesn't that add to the real time
latency on the system!)

Hoping someone would clear the doubt

Ed
