Sorry, I'm not sure what do you mean .. Before this patch we were disabling the
interrupt on a start of programming hardware configuration, now we don't needed to
disable the interrupt because it is already in the disabled state at that moment
since we're now requesting interrupt in the *disabled* state during of the driver's
probe using IRQ_NOAUTOEN flag.
