pinctrl: rockchip: Fix enable/disable/mask/unmask
The Rockchip pinctrl driver was only implementing the "mask" and
"unmask" operations though the hardware actually has two distinct
things: enable/disable and mask/unmask. It was implementing the
"mask" operations as a hardware enable/disable and always leaving all
interrupts unmasked.
I believe that the old system had some downsides, specifically:
- (Untested) if an interrupt went off while interrupts were "masked"
it would be lost. Now it will be kept track of.
- If someone wanted to change an interrupt back into a GPIO (is such a
thing sensible?) by calling irq_disable() it wouldn't actually take
effect. That's because Linux does some extra optimizations when
there's no true "disable" function: it does a lazy mask.
Let's actually implement enable/disable/mask/unmask properly.
