Hi Stephen, there is one use case with is not covered by commit 
b55326dc969e (

"pinctrl: msm: Really mask level interrupts to prevent latching"). That 
happens when

gpio line is toggled between i/o mode and interrupt mode :

1. GPIO is configured as irq line. Peripheral raises interrupt.

2. IRQ handler runs and disables the irq line (through wq work).

3. GPIO is configured for input and and data is received from the 
peripheral.

4. Now, when GPIO is re-enabled as irq, we see spurious irq, and there 
isn't

any data received on the gpio line, when it is read back after 
configuring as input.

This can happen for both edge and level interrupts.

Patch https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/6/17/226 tries to cover this use case. 
Can you please

provide your comments?


Thanks

Neeraj
