I later noticed that icside now also uses expansioncard_ops_t to do it (like pata_icside which doesn't have ->maskproc alike) so ->maskproc may no longer be needed for this. > > - we should merge SELECT_MASK() with ide_set_irq() and consider skipping > > ide_set_irq() for ->quirk_list devices > > > > ... you mean where it's not already done? We are going to mask the IRQ on controller side or enable/disable_irq() anyway for ->quirk_list devices so we setting nIEN doesn't seem necessary?
