irqchip/imx-irqsteer: Mask all interrupts in probe() and remove()

This commit masks all interrupts in probe before wiring up chained handlers,
and again in remove to quiesce the hardware for the next probe. This is
intended to prevent interrupt storms on module reload.

[Severity: High]
Will this hardware register access cause a fatal bus error during device unbind?

During driver unbind (via module unload or sysfs), the driver core explicitly
calls pm_runtime_put_sync() before calling the driver's remove callback. This
drops the runtime PM usage count and synchronously suspends the device, which
disables the device's clock.

If the hardware is already unclocked, does calling writel_relaxed() on the
CHANMASK hardware registers without first waking the device up via
pm_runtime_get_sync() trigger a synchronous external abort on i.MX platforms?
