It will also not work if something shares the interrupt with the pca954x mux,
on the parent side of the mux, so to speak. Then that other driver may
potentially enable the irq "behind the back" of the pca954x driver.

When irq_mask_enable is non-zero, I think the parent irq should be masked
when the first irq from the set in irq_mask_enable is masked. For symmetry.

Like so (untested):

	if (data->irq_enabled) {
		if (!data->irq_mask ||
			(data->irq_mask & mask_enable) != mask_enable) {
			disable_irq(data->client->irq);
			data->irq_enabled = false;
		}
	}

Hmm, this whole thing is fiddly and while it solves your problem it doesn't
allow for solving the more general problem when there are "problematic"
devices mixed with other devices. At least, I don't see it. And the
limitations we are walking into with tracking number of enables etc suggests
that we are attacking this at the wrong level. Maybe you should try to work
around the hw limitations not in the pca954x driver, but in the irq core?

I.e. have the irq core check, for each irq, for a property that specifies
the depth at which each irq should be unmasked. This new property should
probably be located in the interrupt-controller node? Then the code can
unmask interrupts when the depth hits this mark, instead of always unmasking
the interrupt when the depth changes from zero to one. You are then adding
the workaround at a level where there is enough information to fix the
more general problem. I think?

But, once again, I'm no irq expert and would desperately like a second
opinion on this stuff...

I think the coding standard says that the && should be at the end of the
first line. Didn't checkpatch complain?
