Yes that should be done explicitly. I suppose when the irq is requested
the first time is when we should do it. Or we can add a flag to gpiolib
to do that all the time for the irq domain? Basically make it so
gpiochip_hierarchy_irq_domain_alloc() sets the flag.

Ok.

If I understand correctly, the lazy and non-lazy cases will masked at
the GIC either after the line twiddles or immediately here respectfully.
So either way we should be OK because it will be masked, but I'm still
unsure about the lazy case where we are in the process of suspending and
then the line twiddles. That would cause the irq to block suspend,
possibly really late if the CPU is running trusted firmware. So we
really need to make sure that it is non-lazy so this can't happen.

Yes makes sense.

Got it. I'm happy with this patch once it explicitly disables the lazy
mode of the gpio irqs.
