With level triggered interrupt mask / unmask will get called for each interrupt, doing the somewhat expensive mux setting on each unmask thus is not a good idea. Instead move it to the set_type callback, which is typically done only once for each irq. Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <redacted>
Yes move it out of mask/unmask but no, not into set_type(). Can you not use the irqchip startup()/shutdown() callbacks instead? And how come we have no clean separation between gpiochip and the pinmux parts here, why cant we just call pinctrl_request_gpio() and pinctrl_free_gpio() here instead? Or maybe pinctrl_gpio_direction_input() and have that set up the muxing in the pinctrl driver side? It looks slightly convoluted.
