Disabling and enabling IRQs
---------------------------
When a GPIO is used as an IRQ signal, then gpiolib also needs to know if
the IRQ is enabled or disabled. In order to inform gpiolib about this,
a driver should call::
void gpiochip_disable_irq(struct gpio_chip *chip, unsigned int offset)
This allows drivers to drive the GPIO as an output while the IRQ is
disabled. When the IRQ is enabled again, a driver should call::
void gpiochip_enable_irq(struct gpio_chip *chip, unsigned int offset)
When implementing an irqchip inside a GPIO driver, these two functions should
typically be called in the .irq_disable() and .irq_enable() callbacks from the
