If that can be done, that'd be great.

Well, you are already renegotiating the link anyway, so that's a very
moot point.

Configuring the HW is not exactly a feature creep. If your intention
is to keep everything as it was left, then you don't have much of a
driver, but instead a time bomb. And we can do without another one in
the tree.

As far as I'm concerned, downstream doesn't exist. If someone wants
the downstream code, they can use it directly and we don't need to
merge this code.

If, on the other hand, you want this driver to be useful and to be
maintained upstream, initialising the interrupt mask is the absolute
bare minimum.
