This looks like two different issues that should be fixed with two
patches.

For the sake of uniformity, I first want to understand why this
driver does not call:

chained_irq_enter/exit()

in the primary handler (mtk_pcie_intr_handler()).

With the GIC as a primary interrupt controller we have not
even figured out how current code can actually work without
calling the chained_* API.

I want to come up with a consistent handling of IRQ domains for
all host bridges and any discrepancy should be explained.

I think that these masking/acking should actually be done through
the irq_chip hooks (see for instance pci-ftpci100.c) - that would
make this kind of bugs much easier to prevent (because the IRQ
layer does the sequencing for you).

Marc (CC'ed) has a more comprehensive view on this than me - I would
like to get to a point where all host bridges uses a consistent
approach for chained IRQ handling and I hope this bug fix can be
a starting point.

Thanks,
