Re: [PATCH] regmap-irq: do not write mask register if mask_base is zero

[Mark Zhang <markz@nvidia.com>]

Some background infos:
This patch fixes an issue when using max77620 gpio driver.
The issue is that, max77620 doesn't have a dedicated GPIO interrupt mask register.
If you want to mask a separate GPIO interrupt on max77620, you need to do that in
it's type register(starting from register address 0x36 - 0x3D).
So this means we can't find a proper register for "mask_base" property, while in current
regmap-irq.c, it updates mask registers assuming "mask_base" is always provided.

Maybe this patch is not the cleanest way to fix the issue, e.g: some chip's mask register
address is zero, in that case, could you help to suggest what is the right way?

Thanks,
Mark
