Could be I've never tried it on the A20 without also having the pmic driver build into the kernel. Thinking more about this, I think this actually is a bug in the nmi irqchip driver, it should not unmask the gic irq until it gets an unmask for its child irq itself. Otherwise we can still get the same problem if ie the pmic driver is a module, etc. Hmm, looking at the code I see that it already masks (sets enable to 0) the irq in sunxi_sc_nmi_irq_init. Note that this really should be done before the irq_set_chained_handler call though, as from then on the gic irq is unmasked, so we may get spurious irqs until the sunxi_sc_nmi_write calls are done. I don't think this will solve the A31 problem though, I wonder if the enable reg-offset we've for the A31 is correct, maybe it should be 8 like with the A20 ? I'll give this a try when I can find some time for this.
