+Disabling and enabling IRQs
+---------------------------
+When a GPIO is used as an IRQ signal, then gpiolib also needs to know if
+the IRQ is enabled or disabled. In order to inform gpiolib about this,
+a driver should call::
+
+	void gpiochip_disable_irq(struct gpio_chip *chip, unsigned int offset)
+
+This allows drivers to drive the GPIO as an output while the IRQ is
+disabled. When the IRQ is enabled again, a driver should call::
+
+	void gpiochip_enable_irq(struct gpio_chip *chip, unsigned int offset)
