[PATCH] PCI: dwc: Use level-triggered handler for MSI IRQs

From: Brian Norris <briannorris@xxxxxxxxxx>

Per Synopsis's documentation, the msi_ctrl_int signal is
level-triggered, not edge-triggered.

The use of handle_edge_trigger() was chosen in commit 7c5925afbc58
("PCI: dwc: Move MSI IRQs allocation to IRQ domains hierarchical API"),
which actually dropped preexisting use of handle_level_trigger().
Looking at the patch history, this change was only made by request:

Subject: Re: [PATCH v6 1/9] PCI: dwc: Add IRQ chained API support
https://lore.kernel.org/all/04d3d5b6-9199-218d-476f-c77d04b8d2e7@xxxxxxx/

"Are you sure about this "handle_level_irq"? MSIs are definitely edge
triggered, not level."

However, while the underlying MSI protocol is edge-triggered in a sense,
the DesignWare IP is actually level-triggered.

So, let's switch back to level-triggered.

In many cases, the distinction doesn't really matter here, because this
signal is hidden behind another (chained) top-level IRQ which can be
masked on its own. But it's still wise to manipulate this interrupt line
according to its actual specification -- specifically, to mask it while
we handle it.
