Subject: changing to threaded_handler in twl6030-irq.c

/*
 * handle_twl6030_int() is the desc->handle method for the twl6030 interrupt.
 * This is a chained interrupt, so there is no desc->action method for it.
 * Now we need to query the interrupt controller in the twl6030 to determine
 * which module is generating the interrupt request.  However, we can't do i2c
 * transactions in interrupt context, so we must defer that work to a kernel
 * thread.  All we do here is acknowledge and mask the interrupt and wakeup
 * the kernel thread.
 */
static irqreturn_t handle_twl6030_pih(int irq, void *devid)
{
        disable_irq_nosync(irq);
        complete(devid);
        return IRQ_HANDLED;
}

Does this still hold good when we have threaded_handler?Is it possible
to move to threaded handler if no, can anybody explain the reason?
Just to know more about threaded handler short comings if there is any.
