Sure. Will add the comment in the next series.

We need to disable this IRQ, during the auto string detection logic. 
Because
in the auto string detection we configure the current sinks one by one 
and check the
status register for the OVPs and set the right string configuration. We 
enable it later after
the auto string detection is completed.

Ok.. may not be. I will disable the irq's here in next series.

Ok.. I will move it to the same patch where the mutex introduced in next 
series.
