Unfortunately some hardware device will assert their irq line immediately on power on and provide no mechanism to mask the irq. As the i2c muxes provide no method to mask irq line this provides a work around by keeping the parent irq masked until enough device drivers have loaded to service all pending interrupts. For example the the ltc1760 assert its SMBALERT irq immediately on power on. With two ltc1760 attached to bus 0 & 1 on a pca954x mux when the first device is registered irq are enabled and fire continuously as the second device driver has not yet loaded. Setting this parameter to <1 1> will delay the irq being enabled until both devices are ready.
