Thanks.  Dealing with the first one should make the second impossible to
hit (as one shouldn't be trying to free irq's if they weren't
successfully gotten in the first place.)

Just for clarity of code, I'd prefer without the release change.

Acked-by: Jonathan Cameron <jic23@....ac.uk> for the get change.

Thanks,
