If you want to be grumpy, be grumpy at Linus. Thomas actually posted a patch
which just emits a warning, instead of failing to request the IRQ, but Linus
didn't want to take it. The whole thread is here

Most of these drivers are not broken (anymore), the majority drivers which
were broken by Thomas's patch have already been fixed. As for your list:
I've already sent out a fix for all of the staging/iio/ drivers a couple of
days ago. And drivers which use nested interrupts are not affected by this
problem. In your list these are basically all drivers with wm*, twl* and
ab8500 in their names. But still leaves a handful of broken driver which
should be fixed.
