Sure, The basic software invoking process is as follows:

Release IRQ:
free_irq() -> __free_irq() -> irq_shutdown() ->__irq_disable()

Disable IRQ:
disable_irq() -> __disable_irq_nosync() -> __disable_irq -> irq_disable 
-> __irq_disable()

As shown before, both will call __irq_disable(). The code of it is as 
follows:

if (irqd_irq_disabled(&desc->irq_data)) {
     if (mask)
         mask_irq(desc);

} else {
         irq_state_set_disabled(desc);
             if (desc->irq_data.chip->irq_disable) {
desc->irq_data.chip->irq_disable(&desc->irq_data);
                 irq_state_set_masked(desc);
             } else if (mask) {
                 mask_irq(desc);
     }
}

Because gpio-dwapb.c provides the hook function of irq_disable, 
__irq_disable() will directly calls chip->irq_disable() instead of 
mask_irq().

For irq_enable(), it's similar and the code is as follows:

if (!irqd_irq_disabled(&desc->irq_data)) {
     unmask_irq(desc);
} else {
     irq_state_clr_disabled(desc);
     if (desc->irq_data.chip->irq_enable) {
desc->irq_data.chip->irq_enable(&desc->irq_data);
         irq_state_clr_masked(desc);
     } else {
         unmask_irq(desc);
     }
}

Similarly, because gpio-dwapb.c provides the hook function of 
irq_enable, irq_enable() will directly calls chip->irq_enable() but does 
not call unmask_irq().


Therefore, the current handle is as follows:

API of IRQ:        |   mask_irq()             | disable_irq()            
|    enable_irq()

gpio-dwapb.c:  |   chip->irq_mask()   | chip->irq_diable()   |    
chip->irq_enable()

I do not know why irq_enable() only calls chip->irq_enable(). However, 
the code shows that irq_enable() clears the disable and masked flags in 
the irq_data state.

Therefore, for gpio-dwapb.c, I thinks ->irq_enable also needs to clear 
the disable and masked flags in the hardware register.
