When we want to enable the SIR, the current code doesn't check whether the
hot-join is enable or not. The modification I made pertains to disabling the SIR interrupt.
It doesn't alter the logic for enabling the SIR.

```
	reg = readl(master->regs + IBI_SIR_REQ_REJECT);
	if (enable) {
		global = reg == 0xffffffff;
		reg &= ~BIT(idx);
	}
```

Yes, indeed. The "global" variable is also true because "reg == 0xffffffff" is true.
Therefore, the INTR_IBI_THLD_STAT bit will be set in the following code.
