Subject: [PATCH v6 3/4] irqchip/plic: enable optimization of interrupt enable state

From: Charles Mirabile <cmirabil@...hat.com>

Optimize the PLIC driver by maintaining the interrupt enable state in
the handler's enable_save array during normal operation rather than only
during suspend/resume. This eliminates the need to read enable registers
during suspend and makes the enable state immediately available for
other optimizations.

Modify __plic_toggle() to take a handler pointer instead of enable_base,
allowing it to update both the hardware registers and the cached
enable_save state atomically within the existing enable_lock protection.

Remove the suspend-time enable register reading since enable_save now
always reflects the current state.
