+ * @desc:	irq descriptor which should be disabled
+ *
+ * If the chip does not implement the irq_disable callback, we
+ * use a lazy disable approach. That means we mark the interrupt
+ * disabled, but leave the hardware unmasked. That's an
+ * optimization because we avoid the hardware access for the
+ * common case where no interrupt happens after we marked it
+ * disabled. If an interrupt happens, then the interrupt flow
+ * handler masks the line at the hardware level and marks it
+ * pending.
