Some of these may be false positives especially for PMICs - often the
interrupts are guaranteed to be generated from the interrupt controller
on the device which runs in thread context.

More generally though why not fix this in request_threaded_irq() itself,
if there's no hard IRQ handler then add the flag transparently?  It'd
save boilerplate.  Indeed I could've sworn someone did that...
