With 'commit 461c1a7d4733 ("gpiolib: override irq_enable/disable")' gpiolib
overrides irqchip's irq_enable and irq_disable callbacks. If irq_disable
callback is implemented then genirq takes unlazy path to disable irq.

Underlying irqchip may not want to implement irq_disable callback to lazy
disable irq when client drivers invokes disable_irq(). By overriding
irq_disable callback, gpiolib ends up always unlazy disabling IRQ.

Allow gpiolib to lazy disable IRQs by overriding irq_disable callback only
if irqchip implemented irq_disable. In cases where irq_disable is not
implemented irq_mask is overridden. Similarly override irq_enable callback
only if irqchip implemented irq_enable otherwise irq_unmask is overridden.

I definitely want Hans Verkuils test and review on this, since it
is a usecase that he is really dependent on.
Maulik, since I am no longer subscribed to linux-gpio, can you mail the
series to me?

I have two use-cases, but I can only test one (I don't have access to the
SBC I need to test the other use-case for the next few months).

Once I have the whole series I'll try to test the first use-case and at
least look into the code if this series could affect the second use-case.

Regards,

Hans

Hi Hans,

Mailed you the entire series.

Thanks,
Maulik

Also the irqchip people preferredly.

But it does seem to mop up my mistakes and fix this up properly!

So with some testing I'll be happy to merge it, even this one
patch separately if Hans can verify that it works.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
