IIRC, this code path is reached only after checking that the INTx
state is changed.  Hence "!enable" is assured to be the pre-driver
INTx state in the old code.

OK, will add it.

Right, pcim_intx() assures to restore INTx value back to the moment it
was called.  And that should be enough and consistent behavior.

BTW, a possible optimization would be to skip the devres if the value
isn't really changed from the current state (which is similar like the
old code before pcim_intx()).  OTOH, this can lead to inconsistencies
when INTx is changed manually after pcim_intx() somehow.  So maybe
it's not worth.
