Subject: drivers/nx: Invalid wait context issue when rebooting

Hi,
I am getting Invalid wait context warning printed when rebooting lpar

kexec/61926 is trying to acquire `of_reconfig_chain.rwsem` while holding
spinlock `devdata_mutex`

Note: Name of the spinlock is misleading.

In my case, I compiled a new vmlinux file and loaded it into the running
kernel using `kexec -l` and then hit `reboot`

dmesg:
