Thanks.

As discussed on IRC, another simpler (code line wise) solution is to
simply clear the IRQ_NOAUTOEN flag in the irq-armada-370-xp, which
brings us back to what set_irq_flags() was doing, without actually
reverting Rob's patch.

However, relying on IRQ_NOAUTOEN being cleared doesn't seem like the
right long term solution, which is why I implemented what I believe is
a (hopefully) better long term solution.

But if you/tglx want something simple/stupid for 4.3 (one-line patch)
and then the real stuff for 4.4, I'd be happy to provide a series
implementing this idea.

Let me know what you and tglx think.

Thanks,

Thomas
