Add irqchip specific flags for msmgpio irqchip to mask non wakeirqs
during suspend and mask before setting irq type.
Why do we need to mask before setting irq type? Does something go wrong?
Can you explain in the commit text?

i don't think anything goes wrong but there might be a case where some driver changing type at runtime,

masking before changing type should make sure any spurious interrupt is not detected during this operation.

Does this need a Fixes tag?
Thanks i will add.

This is sort of sad. We have to set the IRQCHIP_MASK_ON_SUSPEND flag
here so that genirq can call the mask op during suspend for the parent
irqchip (pdc)?
During suspend, suspend_device_irq() will check this flag in msmgpio irqchip and then call it to mask if its not marked for wakeup.

in this case, setting this flag will call first invoke gpiolib's callback (we override in first patch of this series), then it goes to msmgpio chip's mask callback,

this call will then get forwarded to its parent PDC and then to PDC's parent GIC.

This seems the way hierarchical irqchip works. i don't see any issue with this.
Is there some way to not need to do that and instead let
genirq do mask on suspend at the chip level instead of the irq level?
