...mask_irq()? This is doing both mask and unmask depending on the
availability of the ops callbacks.

flag? Darn, this has a clear boolean meaning of mask or unmask and 'u32
flag' is the most natural and obvious self explaining expression for
this, right?

What's mask_bits? This is about _ONE_ IMS interrupt. Can it have
multiple mask bits and if so then the explanation which I decoded by
crystal ball probably looks like this:
Bit 0: Don't know whether it's masked
Bit 1: Perhaps it's masked
Bit 2: Probably it's masked
Bit 3: Mostly masked
...
Bit 31: Fully masked
Or something like that. Makes a lot of sense in a XKCD cartoon at least.

The purpose of this masked information is?
