It shows what the problem is for sure. delays are forbidden in
irqchip callback functions since they are all called from
IRQ context with IRQs disabled though.

After this and before the raw_spin_unlock() try to read the status
register until it
eads zero for the requested IRQ:

while (ath79_gpio_read(ctrl, AR71XX_GPIO_REG_INT_PENDING) & mask) {}

This way we wait for the status to go low before we allow any IRQs to
fire after enableing.

Maybe not so good since we may want to turn on IRQs that are asserted
at some point, but worth a try.
