[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 5/9] xen/arm: gic: Document how gic_set_irq_type should be called

[Julien Grall <julien.grall@xxxxxxx>]

Changing the value of Int_config is UNPREDICTABLE when the corresponding
interrupt is not disabled.

The driver is assuming the interrupt will be disabled by the caller of
gic_set_irq_type. Add an ASSERT to ensure it.
