    pinctrl: qcom: No need to read-modify-write the interrupt status · 4079d35f
    Douglas Anderson authored
    When the Qualcomm pinctrl driver wants to Ack an interrupt, it does a
    read-modify-write on the interrupt status register.  On some SoCs it
    makes sure that the status bit is 1 to "Ack" and on others it makes
    sure that the bit is 0 to "Ack".  Presumably the first type of
    interrupt controller is a "write 1 to clear" type register and the
    second just let you directly set the interrupt status register.
    
    As far as I can tell from scanning structure definitions, the
    interrupt status bit is always in a register by itself.  Thus with
    both types of interrupt controllers it is safe to "Ack" interrupts
    without doing a read-modify-write.  We can do a simple write.
    
    It should be noted that if the interrupt status bit _was_ ever in a
    register with other things (like maybe status bits for other GPIOs):
    a) For "write 1 clear" type controllers then read-modify-write would
       be totally wrong because we'd accidentally end up clearing
       interrupts we weren't looking at.
    b) For "direct set" type controllers then read-modify-write would also
       be wrong because someone setting one of the other bits in the
       register might accidentally clear (or set) our interrupt.
    I say this simply to show that the current read-modify-write doesn't
    provide any sort of "future proofing" of the code.  In fact (for
    "write 1 clear" controllers) the new code is slightly more "future
    proof" since it would allow more than one interrupt status bits to
    share a register.
    
    NOTE: this code fixes no bugs--it simply avoids an extra register
    read.
