The driver may sleep under a spinlock. The function call paths are: ql_get_full_dup (acquire the spinlock) ql_sem_spinlock ssleep --> may sleep
ql_get_auto_cfg_status (acquire the spinlock) ql_sem_spinlock ssleep --> may sleep To fix it, ssleep is replaced with mdelay. This bug is found by my static analysis tool(DSAC) and checked by my code review.
