Re: [PATCHv2] pinctrl: baytrail: Clear DIRECT_IRQ bit

[Loic Poulain]

Warn seems necessary because we unconditionally change
the pin behavior, I didn't meet any case where direct irq is truly
used on our platform. But maybe it could happen?
Don't want to cause any hidden regression.

Moreover if it is confirmed that is an hardware issue (BIOS),
We can just keep this patch locally as a workaround and revert
it later once our BIOS fixed.

Loic
