Subject: [PATCH] usb/hcd: remove unnecessary local_irq_save

Remove the use of local_irq_save() and IRQF_DISABLED, no longer needed since
interrupt handlers are always run with interrupts disabled on the
current CPU.

Tested successfully with 3.12.0-rc4 on my PC. Didn't find
any issue because of this change.

How about removing all the other unnecessary usages of IRQF_DISABLED
under drivers/usb while you're at it?

I believe I already did, through patches sent on Oct. 6:

drivers/usb/gadget/mv_u3d_core.c: IRQF_DISABLED |
IRQF_SHARED, driver_name, u3d)) {
=> Sent fix on Oct. 6, 2013

drivers/usb/host/uhci-platform.c: ret = usb_add_hcd(hcd,
pdev->resource[1].start, IRQF_DISABLED |
=> Sent fix on Oct. 6, 2013

Cheers,

Michael.

Ah, I had forgotten about those submissions. No further objections.
