- Few wifi end points which only support legacy interrupts,
performs hardware reset functionalities after disabling interrupts
by invoking disable_irq and then re-enable using enable_irq, they
enable hardware interrupts first and then virtual irq line later.
- The legacy irq line goes low only after DEASSERT_INTx is
received.As the legacy irq line is high immediately after hardware
interrupts are enabled but virq of EP is still in disabled state
and EP handler is never executed resulting no DEASSERT_INTx.If dummy
irq chip is used, interrutps are not masked and system is
hanging with CPU stall.
- Adding irq chip functions instead of dummy irq chip for legacy
interrupts.
- Legacy interrupts are level sensitive, so using handle_level_irq
is more appropriate as it is masks interrupts until End point handles
interrupts and unmasks interrutps after End point handler is executed.

The subject line is not very descriptive. How about "Enforce level
triggering for legacy interrupts"?

Oh please! Think of the following:

	cpu0	cpu1
	read
		read
		write
	write

How can you make this reliable if you don't have any form of mutual
exclusion that spans both mask and unmask, and ensures the atomicity of
the RMW sequence?

Thanks,

	M.

Agreed, will send with locks.
