Hi,
Isn't free_irq() what you want?
/**
* free_irq - free an interrupt allocated with request_irq
* @irq: Interrupt line to free
* @dev_id: Device identity to free
*
* Remove an interrupt handler. The handler is removed and if the
* interrupt line is no longer in use by any driver it is disabled.
* On a shared IRQ the caller must ensure the interrupt is disabled
* on the card it drives before calling this function. The function
* does not return until any executing interrupts for this IRQ
* have completed.
*
* This function must not be called from interrupt context.
