sorry, i'll try to rewrite the commit message.

for example when a driver(drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/main.c) 
try to do these:

devm_request_irq->irq_startup->irq_enable
disable_irq                                     <-- disabled and masked
devm_free_irq->irq_shutdown                     <-- disable it again

and the pinctrl-rockchip driver would enable/disable gpio clk in 
irq_enable/irq_disable, so it would try to disable a disabled clk(due to 
unbalanced irq disable)
