Which is correct.

Again, I already explained to you in great detail why the core code is
correct and does not have a bug.

But as you insist that the bug is in the core code you obviously failed
to validate what I asked you to validate:

>> 	  i2c_hid_core_resume()
>> 	     enable_irq();        <- Unmasks interrupt and removes the
>> 				     disabled marker

The keyword to validate here is 'Unmasks'.

As gpio_dwapb implements the irq_enable() callback enable_irq() is not
going to end up invoking the irq_unmask() callback. But the irq_enable()
callback is required to be a superset of irq_unmask(). I.e. the core
code expects it to do:

    1) Some preparatory work to enable the interrupt line

    2) Unmask the interrupt, which is why the masked state is cleared
       by the core after invoking the irq_enable() callback.

which is pretty obvious because if an interrupt chip does not implement
the irq_enable() callback the core defaults to irq_unmask()

Correspondingly the core expects from the irq_disable() callback:

    1) To mask the interrupt

    2) To do some extra work to disable the interrupt line

which is obvious again because the core defaults to irq_mask() if the
irq_disable() callback is not implemented by the interrupt chip.

I'm pretty sure that with the previous provided information and the
extra information above you can figure out yourself that:

  1) the core code is correct as is

  2) where exactly the problem is located and how to fix it

No?

Thanks,
