I'd say just push this driver with the other 2.6.30 stuff.
There's no point in holding it back.

The yet-to-be-merged threaded IRQ support won't break the
in-tree stuff.  And it's not exactly fully cooked, since
it doesn't yet handle a highly-relevant use-case ... :)

So the plan of record remains unchanged:  once mainline
has adequately functional threaded IRQ support, update
twl4030-family drivers to use it.  Meanwhile, use the
current stuff, which despite some aesthetic warts still
works just fine.

The positive note seems to be that the IRQ threading
patches have gotten refreshed.
