Subject: Claude review: drm/panthor: Process FW events in IRQ context

Patch Review
**Verdict: Has a bug.**
This is the key patch that switches the job IRQ to use a custom raw handler that processes events in hard IRQ context.
**Bug: `drm_WARN_ON_ONCE` misuse:**
```c
static irqreturn_t panthor_job_irq_threaded_handler(int irq, void *data)
{
struct panthor_irq *pirq = data;
/* We never return IRQ_WAKE_THREAD, so we're not supposed to be called. */
drm_WARN_ON_ONCE(&pirq->ptdev->base,
"threaded IRQ handler should never be called.");
return IRQ_NONE;
}
```
`drm_WARN_ON_ONCE(drm, x)` expects a boolean condition as the second argument. A string literal `"threaded IRQ handler should never be called."` is a non-NULL pointer, so the condition is **always true**, and this will fire every time the threaded handler is called (which should be never, but if it is, the warning will be misleading). This should be:
```c
drm_WARN_ON_ONCE(&pirq->ptdev->base, true);
```
Or better, use `drm_WARN_ONCE()` with a custom format string.
**Note:** After patch 10 introduces coalescing, the threaded handler *can* actually be called (when `IRQ_WAKE_THREAD` is returned from the raw handler), so patch 10 overrides this handler anyway. But between patches 9 and 10, the warning is incorrectly coded.
**Observation on the raw handler:**
```c
static irqreturn_t panthor_job_irq_raw_handler(int irq, void *data)
{
...
panthor_job_irq_handler(pirq, gpu_read(pirq->iomem, INT_RAWSTAT));
scoped_guard(spinlock_irqsave, &pirq->mask_lock) {
if (pirq->state == PANTHOR_IRQ_STATE_PROCESSING)
pirq->state = PANTHOR_IRQ_STATE_ACTIVE;
}
return IRQ_HANDLED;
```
The INT_MASK is never written back to `pirq->mask` here -- the handler reads `INT_RAWSTAT`, processes, and transitions back to ACTIVE without re-enabling the mask register. This works because in the raw handler path, `INT_MASK` was never cleared (unlike the threaded path where it's cleared to prevent re-entry). The handler is re-entrant through the spinlock. However, this means events can fire repeatedly while processing -- which is what the coalescing in patch 10 aims to mitigate.
