This is a single-patch fix for a real deadlock in the PowerVR (Imagination) DRM driver. The analysis is sound: `pvr_power_reset(pvr_dev, false)` (soft reset) is called from `process_fwccb_command()` → `pvr_fwccb_process()` → `pvr_device_irq_thread_handler()`, which is the threaded IRQ handler. Calling `disable_irq()` from within that handler will deadlock because `disable_irq()` waits (via `synchronize_irq()`) for any running threaded handler to complete — i.e., it waits for itself.
The fix is correct and minimal: use `disable_irq_nosync()` for the soft reset path, which disables the IRQ without waiting for the current handler to finish. This is safe because we are *already inside* the only handler that could be running.
The patch is well-tagged with `Fixes:` and `Cc: stable`, appropriate for a deadlock fix.
**Verdict: This patch looks good and is ready to merge.**
