Many drivers don't want interrupts enabled automatically due to
request_irq(). So they are handling this issue by either way of
the below two:
(1)
irq_set_status_flags(irq, IRQ_NOAUTOEN);
request_irq(dev, irq...);
(2)
request_irq(dev, irq...);
disable_irq(irq);
The code in the second way is silly and unsafe. In the small time
gap between request_irq() and disable_irq(), interrupts can still
come.
The code in the first way is safe though we might be able to do it
in the generic irq code.
With this patch, drivers can request_irq with IRQF_NO_AUTOEN flag.
They will need neither irq_set_status_flags() nor disable_irq().
Hundreds of drivers with this problem will be handled afterwards.
