I've got this strange feeling of deja vu... Ah, here: Thierry Reding
tackled this problem a year ago. His series:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/9/16/111 (of/irq: Defer interrupt reference
resolution)

He did a V2 (which never made it to the i2c list). Seems like the first
two patches made it and the rest got stalled without discussion?

https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/9/18/216

Adding Thierry to the queue. Maybe he can bring some light to what
happened to his series.
