[PATCH] let setup_irq reenable a shared irq

From: Uwe Kleine-KÃnig
Date: Mon Apr 28 2008 - 07:13:22 EST


Consider two devices A and B sharing an irq and B already asserts the irq on
a booting machine.
If the driver for A is loaded first the irq starts triggering and gets
disabled after some time by note_interrupt(). Later when the driver for B
is loaded the interrupt should be reenabled---other wise both A and B don't
work properly.
