[PATCH] KVM: arm64: nv: Remove clearing of ICH_LR<n>.EOI if ICH_LR<n>.HW == 1
Posted by Wei-Lin Chang 9 months ago
In the case of ICH_LR<n>.HW == 1, bit 41 of LR is just a part of pINTID
without EOI meaning, and bit 41 will be zeroed by the subsequent clearing
of ICH_LR_PHYS_ID_MASK anyway.
No functional changes intended.
