[PATCH v3 4/4] pinctrl: sunxi: Define enable / disable irq callbacks for level triggered irqs

[Hans de Goede]

Some drivers use disable_irq / enable_irq and do the work clearing the source
in another thread instead of using a threaded interrupt handler.

The irqchip used not having irq_disable and irq_enable callbacks in this case,
will lead to unnecessary spurious interrupts:

On a disable_irq in a chip without a handller for this, the irq core will
remember the disable, but not actually call into the irqchip. With a level
triggered interrupt (where the source has not been cleared) this will lead
to an immediate retrigger, at which point the irq-core will mask the irq.
So having an irq_disable callback in the irqchip will save us the interrupt
firing a 2nd time for nothing.

Drivers using disable / enable_irq like this, will call enable_irq when
they finally have cleared the interrupt source, without an enable_irq callback,
this will turn into an unmask, at which point the irq will trigger immediately
because when it was originally acked the level was still high, so the ack was
a nop.
