I have no idea how the subject and change log is related to what the
patch is doing.
The patch just consolidates the almost identical functionality of
rzg2l_irqc_irq_disable() and rzg2l_irqc_irq_enable() into a helper
function which is invoked from both places. The existing code already
uses TIEN for disable and enable, so what's the change?
IOW, it's zero functional change and completely unrelated to the above
blurb.
