What guarantees that the parent irqchip state has been correctly restored?
Nothing refcounts the nesting of mask/unmask.

I'd rather you start by *disabling* the parent, and then none of that
matters at all.

Same thing: if the parent was disabled, why do we need to do anything?

This one is the only interesting one: why don't you mask the interrupt
at the local level rather than on the parent? And this should be
conditioned on the interrupt state itself (enabled or disabled), not
done unconditionally.

Thanks,
