Subject: Re: [PATCH] Add support for IRQ_NOAUTOEN in __set_irq_handler

Currently, IRQ_NOAUTOEN is only supported with request_irq, and not fx.
set_irq_chained_handler(). As the IRQ_NOAUTOEN flag is silently ignored by
__set_irq_handler, you risk writing faulty code that start with irq enabled
although the developer expects irq disabled.

If the flag is not handled, wouldn't it make sense to return an error?
