[ Upstream commit efab13e7d13a641a22c7508cde6e1a5285161944 ]
The IRQF_NO_AUTOEN can be used for the drivers that don't want interrupts to be enabled automatically via devm_request_threaded_irq(). Using this flag can provide be more robust compared to the way of calling disable_irq() after devm_request_threaded_irq() without the IRQF_NO_AUTOEN flag.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees based on the following analysis: ## Code Change Analysis The commit makes a simple, targeted fix to address a race condition in interrupt handling: 1. **Line 1639**: Changes `irq_flags = IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING | IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING;` to `irq_flags = IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING | IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING | IRQF_NO_AUTOEN;` 2. **Line 1642**: Changes `irq_flags = 0;` to `irq_flags = IRQF_NO_AUTOEN;` 3. **Line 1659**: Removes the `disable_irq(dp->irq);` call that was previously needed after `devm_request_threaded_irq()` ## Backport Suitability Assessment **Matches Stable Tree Criteria:** 1. **Fixes an Important Bug**: The commit addresses a race condition where interrupts can fire between `devm_request_threaded_irq()` and `disable_irq()`, which could cause system instability or unexpected behavior. 2. **Small and Contained Change**: The modification is minimal (3 lines changed) and affects only the interrupt setup logic in `analogix_dp_core.c:1608-1659`. 3. **Low Risk of Regression**: The change uses a well-established kernel pattern (IRQF_NO_AUTOEN) that's been proven safe across multiple subsystems. 4. **Clear Technical Merit**: As noted in the commit message, using `IRQF_NO_AUTOEN` is "more robust compared to the way of calling disable_irq() after devm_request_threaded_irq()". **Strong Precedent from Similar Commits:** The analysis shows **ALL** similar commits in the provided reference set have "Backport Status: YES": - `drm/msm/adreno: Use IRQF_NO_AUTOEN flag in request_irq()` - **YES** - `drm/imx/dcss: Use IRQF_NO_AUTOEN flag in request_irq()` (both instances) - **YES** - `drm/imx/ipuv3: Use IRQF_NO_AUTOEN flag in request_irq()` - **YES** - `drm/exynos: move to use request_irq by IRQF_NO_AUTOEN flag` - **YES** **Additional Context from Kernel Repository:** Examination of `/home/sasha/linux/drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/a nalogix/analogix_dp_core.c:1659` confirms this follows the exact same pattern as other successful backports - replacing the `request_irq()` + `disable_irq()` sequence with `IRQF_NO_AUTOEN` flag usage. This is a textbook example of a stable tree candidate: it fixes a real race condition bug with minimal, proven-safe code changes that follow established kernel patterns.
