This is a totally incorrect description.

Instead of this, the commit description should say the following:

1) The irq_mask/unmask() is used by handle_fasteoi_irq() is mostly
for ONESHOT irqs and there is no limitation in the RISC-V PLIC driver
due to use of irq_mask/unmask() callbacks. In fact, a lot of irqchip
drivers using handle_fasteoi_irq() also implement irq_mask/unmask().

2) The C9xx PLIC does not comply with the interrupt claim/completion
process defined by the RISC-V PLIC specification because C9xx PLIC
will mask an IRQ when it is claimed by PLIC driver (i.e. readl(claim) and
the IRQ will be unmasked upon completion by PLIC driver (i.e. writel(claim).
This behaviour breaks the handling of IRQS_ONESHOT by the generic
handle_fasteoi_irq() used in the PLIC driver.

3) This patch adds an errata fix for IRQS_ONESHOT handling on
C9xx PLIC by using irq_enable/disable() callbacks instead of
irq_mask/unmask().

In general, non-compliance of the C9xx PLIC should be treated as
an errata so please don't project it as a feature.

Please add a detailed comment block as described by point#2
above.
