Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.12 10/93] drm/bridge: analogix_dp: Add irq flag IRQF_NO_AUTOEN instead of calling disable_irq()

From: Damon Ding <damon.ding@...k-chips.com>

[ Upstream commit efab13e7d13a641a22c7508cde6e1a5285161944 ]

The IRQF_NO_AUTOEN can be used for the drivers that don't want
interrupts to be enabled automatically via devm_request_threaded_irq().
Using this flag can provide be more robust compared to the way of
calling disable_irq() after devm_request_threaded_irq() without the
IRQF_NO_AUTOEN flag.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees based on
the following analysis: ## Code Change Analysis The commit makes a
simple, targeted fix to address a race condition in interrupt handling:
1. **Line 1639**: Changes `irq_flags = IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING |
IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING;` to `irq_flags = IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING |
IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING | IRQF_NO_AUTOEN;` 2. **Line 1642**: Changes
`irq_flags = 0;` to `irq_flags = IRQF_NO_AUTOEN;` 3. **Line 1659**:
Removes the `disable_irq(dp->irq);` call that was previously needed
after `devm_request_threaded_irq()` ## Backport Suitability Assessment
**Matches Stable Tree Criteria:** 1. **Fixes an Important Bug**: The
commit addresses a race condition where interrupts can fire between
`devm_request_threaded_irq()` and `disable_irq()`, which could cause
system instability or unexpected behavior. 2. **Small and Contained
Change**: The modification is minimal (3 lines changed) and affects only
the interrupt setup logic in `analogix_dp_core.c:1608-1659`. 3. **Low
Risk of Regression**: The change uses a well-established kernel pattern
(IRQF_NO_AUTOEN) that's been proven safe across multiple subsystems. 4.
**Clear Technical Merit**: As noted in the commit message, using
`IRQF_NO_AUTOEN` is "more robust compared to the way of calling
disable_irq() after devm_request_threaded_irq()". **Strong Precedent
from Similar Commits:** The analysis shows **ALL** similar commits in
the provided reference set have "Backport Status: YES": -
`drm/msm/adreno: Use IRQF_NO_AUTOEN flag in request_irq()` - **YES** -
`drm/imx/dcss: Use IRQF_NO_AUTOEN flag in request_irq()` (both
instances) - **YES** - `drm/imx/ipuv3: Use IRQF_NO_AUTOEN flag in
request_irq()` - **YES** - `drm/exynos: move to use request_irq by
IRQF_NO_AUTOEN flag` - **YES** **Additional Context from Kernel
Repository:** Examination of `/home/sasha/linux/drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/a
nalogix/analogix_dp_core.c:1659` confirms this follows the exact same
pattern as other successful backports - replacing the `request_irq()` +
`disable_irq()` sequence with `IRQF_NO_AUTOEN` flag usage. This is a
textbook example of a stable tree candidate: it fixes a real race
condition bug with minimal, proven-safe code changes that follow
established kernel patterns.
