Subject: Re: [PATCH] i3c: dw: Disable IBI IRQ depends on hot-join and SIR
 enabling

Hi Dylan,

Thanks for the response! I have a couple of follow-up things though:

Yep, I see what you're doing there, but it looks like the correct state
would never be set if we're not enabling/disabling the IBIs separately;
with this code, we would only ever enable the SIR for the HJ if we
*also* happen to enable IBIs.

The initial state would be to have all SIRs masked.

> Billy recently submitted a change to implement the hot-join enabling/disabling. Therefore, it is timely to consider the hot-join functionality.

Yep, I saw that, excellent! It's next on my list to take a look at.

It's just a little unusual that we're enabling the HJ interrupt before
actually having the HJ support though.

Cheers,


Jeremy
