/**
* irq_disable - Mark interupt disabled
* @desc: irq descriptor which should be disabled
*
* If the chip does not implement the irq_disable callback, we
* use a lazy disable approach. That means we mark the interrupt
* disabled, but leave the hardware unmasked. That's an
* optimization because we avoid the hardware access for the
* common case where no interrupt happens after we marked it
* disabled. If an interrupt happens, then the interrupt flow
* handler masks the line at the hardware level and marks it
* pending.
