You use irq chips now and you set the type handlers (edge/level), but
you still call __do_IRQ() the all in one fits nothing handler, which
is going to be deprecated and removed.

Please call 
       generic_handle_irq(irq);

which will call the correct flow handlers.

  This should be pr_debug() or do you want to flood the syslog in
  every timer interrupt ?

  pr_debug as well. That's not very informative

Hmm. How does that work with oneshot timers ?

    IRQF_DISABLED  | IRQF_TIMER,

  Yuck. What's that ? wall_to_monotonic is maintained by the generic
  code.

Thanks,
