Subject: pinctrl: samsung: Remove bogus irq_[un]mask from resource management

From: Thomas Gleixner <[email protected]>

commit 3fa53ec2ed885b0aec3f0472e3b4a8a6f1cd748c upstream.

The irq chip callbacks irq_request/release_resources() have absolutely no business with masking and unmasking the irq.

The core code unmasks the interrupt after complete setup and masks it before invoking irq_release_resources().

The unmask is actually harmful as it happens before the interrupt is completely initialized in __setup_irq().

Remove it.
