Under the spinlock we call request_irq(), which allocates memory with GFP_KERNEL,
This causes the following trace when DEBUG_SPINLOCK is enabled, it can cause
the following trace:

 BUG: spinlock wrong CPU on CPU#2, ethtool/2595
 lock: ffff8801f9cbc2b0, .magic: dead4ead, .owner: ethtool/2595, .owner_cpu: 0

Replacing with mutex, which is enough in this case.
