Yes, this is normal. Carefully read PATCH 5/5, which adds a big
comment, which explains the logic of the HW and how the
irq-armada-370-xp driver copes with it.

Each interrupt can be masked at two levels. One level is enabled when
the interrupted is mapped, the other upon ->mask()/->unmask(). So
when we're resuming, we need to re-enable the interrupt at the level it
was enabled in ->map(), and have ->mask()/->unmask() continue to
mask/unmask the interrupt at the other level.

For per-CPU interrupts, ->map() and ->resume() enable the interrupt at
the global level, and leave ->mask()/->unmask() enable/disable at the
per-CPU level.

For global interrupts, ->map() and ->resume() enable the interrupt at
the per-CPU level, and leave ->mask()/->unmask() enable/disable at the
global level.

Again, see PATCH 5/5, and let me know if there are still some unclear
aspects.

Thanks!
