x86: devicetree: Configure IOAPIC pin only once
We use io_apic_setup_irq_pin() in order to configure pin's interrupt number polarity and type. This is done on every irq_create_of_mapping() which happens for instance during pci enable calls. Level typed interrupts are masked by default, edge are unmasked. On the first ->xlate() call the level interrupt is configured and masked. The driver calls request_irq() and the line is unmasked. Lets assume the interrupt line is shared with another device and we call pci_enable_device() for this device. The ->xlate() configures the pin again and it is masked. request_irq() does not unmask the line because it _is_ already unmasked according to its internal state. So the interrupt will never be unmasked again. This patch is based on an earlier work by Torben Hohn and solves the problem by configuring the pin only once. Since all devices must agree on the same type and polarity there is no point in configuring the pin more than once.
