i don't think anything goes wrong but there might be a case where some 
driver changing type at runtime,

masking before changing type should make sure any spurious interrupt is 
not detected during this operation.

Thanks i will add.

During suspend, suspend_device_irq() will check this flag in msmgpio 
irqchip and then call it to mask if its not marked for wakeup.

in this case, setting this flag will call first invoke gpiolib's 
callback (we override in first patch of this series), then it goes to 
msmgpio chip's mask callback,

this call will then get forwarded to its parent PDC and then to PDC's 
parent GIC.

This seems the way hierarchical irqchip works. i don't see any issue 
with this.
