Technically the same check added in msm_gpio_irq_mask() and

registered with irq domain.

I assume that if the GPIO is never unmasked, then msm_gpio_irq_ack()
will never be called.

msm_gpio_irq_set_type() and msm_gpio_irq_set_wake() might be called, so
I can add checks for those functions.  I'm hoping that won't be
necessary, however.  The GPIO and IRQ code is too entangled for me to
figure out whether unclaimed GPIOs can still have their interrupts
programmed.


That is why the suggestion is instead of patching in each of the op
function of registered irq_chip for the unavailable gpio that won't
have use for all that anyways, simply don't register irq for the
unavailable gpio.  What's the use of registering  irq if you know
the gpio is unavailable and not going to use any of the irq_chip
functions.  It's unnecessarily adding an irq_desc in the list.

Technically machine_kexec_mask_interrupts() is not blindly disable
all IRQs.  If you don't register irq, it won't be in the irq_desc
list.
