This patch originated from the discussion with Dmitry in the below thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-input/20210102042902.41664-1-song.bao.hua@hisilicon.com/
there are many drivers which don't want interrupts enabled automatically
due to request_irq().
So they are handling this issue by either way of the below two:
(1)
irq_set_status_flags(irq, IRQ_NOAUTOEN);
request_irq(dev, irq...);
(2)
request_irq(dev, irq...);
disable_irq(irq);

The code in the second way is silly and unsafe. In the small time gap
between request_irq and disable_irq, interrupts can still come.
The code in the first way is safe though we might be able to do it in
the generic irq code.

I guess Dmitry also prefers genirq handles this as he said
"What I would like to see is to allow passing something like IRQF_DISABLED
to request_irq() so that we would not need neither irq_set_status_flags()
nor disable_irq()" in the original email thread.

If this one is accepted, hundreds of drivers with this problem will be
handled afterwards.

One of the reasons I dislike irq_set_status_flags() is that we have to
call it before we actually granted our IRQ request...

Can we make sure we refuse this request if the caller also specified
IRQF_SHARED?

Thanks.

Right now, there is a warning for IRQF_SHARED + NOAUTOEN:

		if (irq_settings_can_autoenable(desc)) {
			irq_startup(desc, IRQ_RESEND, IRQ_START_COND);
		} else {
			/*
			 * Shared interrupts do not go well with disabling
			 * auto enable. The sharing interrupt might request
			 * it while it's still disabled and then wait for
			 * interrupts forever.
			 */
			WARN_ON_ONCE(new->flags & IRQF_SHARED);
			/* Undo nested disables: */
			desc->depth = 1;
		}

Of course, this could also be clearly rejected in the sanity-check
of request_threaded_irq() if we want to totally prohibit this
behavior:

int request_threaded_irq(unsigned int irq, irq_handler_t handler,
			 irq_handler_t thread_fn, unsigned long irqflags,
			 const char *devname, void *dev_id)
{
	struct irqaction *action;
	struct irq_desc *desc;
	int retval;

	if (irq == IRQ_NOTCONNECTED)
		return -ENOTCONN;

	/*
	 * Sanity-check: shared interrupts must pass in a real dev-ID,
	 * otherwise we'll have trouble later trying to figure out
	 * which interrupt is which (messes up the interrupt freeing
	 * logic etc).
	 *
	 * Also IRQF_COND_SUSPEND only makes sense for shared interrupts and
	 * it cannot be set along with IRQF_NO_SUSPEND.
	 */
	if (((irqflags & IRQF_SHARED) && !dev_id) ||
	    (!(irqflags & IRQF_SHARED) && (irqflags & IRQF_COND_SUSPEND)) ||
	    ((irqflags & IRQF_NO_SUSPEND) && (irqflags & IRQF_COND_SUSPEND)))
		return -EINVAL;
