Currently, cleanup_irq() is invoked when a peripheral's interrupt
fires and there is no mapping present in the interrupt domain of
spmi interrupt controller.

The cleanup_irq clears the arbiter bit, clears the pmic interrupt
and disables it at the pmic in that order. The last disable in
cleanup_irq races with request_irq() in that it stomps over the
enable issued by request_irq. Fix this by not writing to the pmic
in cleanup_irq. The latched bit will be left set in the pmic,
which will not send us more interrupts even if the enable bit
stays enabled.

When a client wants to request an interrupt, use the activate
callback on the irq_domain to clear latched bit. This ensures
that the latched, if set due to the above changes in cleanup_irq
or when the bootloader leaves it set, gets cleaned up, paving way
for upcoming interrupts to trigger.

With this, there is a possibility of unwanted triggering of
interrupt right after the latched bit is cleared - the interrupt
may be left enabled too. To avoid that, clear the enable first
followed by clearing the latched bit in the activate callback.

Please squash this with the patch that adds cleanup_irq() and
rewrite the commit text to combine details from both.
Sure. Will squash it in the next patch submission.
