OK, I see your problem now.

The usual flow is along the line of Ack+Eoi, and that's what the
current code guarantees.

Threaded interrupts do Ack+Mask+Eoi, followed by an Unmask once the
thread finishes. This unmask needs to do the retrigger as well, as you
found out.

Can you please refactor the above so that we have the common code
between unmask and eoi in a separate function, send a proper patch, and
I'll apply it on top of the current irq/irqchip-5.7 branch.

Thanks,

	M.
