This did not cause the problem, the bisection just landed on a
commit that enabled additional configuraitons.

I think hte problem is that struct dsi_irq_stats is just too
large, at 776 bytes. The interrupts are disabled during a copy
from 'dsi->irq_stats' into 'stats'. A trivial workaround would
avoid the local copy and keep interrupts disabled through
the entire function so it can operate directly on the source
data, but that would introduce a longer time with irqs disabled,
which might be bad as well.

Since this is only called from a debugfs file, and reading that
file is probably not performance critical itself, maybe
using kmalloc on the large structure would be best.
