No problem. I think it was related to discussions around the other
patches. I had meant to follow up earlier.

Will fix.

The fixed part is safe to set. It just means that the rate is constant.
I'll add a comment.

I think it was to appease checkpatch, the one below certainly was. If
it's not needed for checkpatch I'll drop it in the next version.

I have no idea why on earth I used +=, slip of the keyboard perhaps, |=
is obviously the correct thing to use.

In any current system that uses this driver I can't imagine a case
where we would see -EPROBE_DEFER here and not for the index 0 interrupt
above. And even then these are SoC interrupt sources so it's unlikely
that they would be deferred.
I do need to handle the case where the 2nd irq is not provided (which
is what I was going for here). IMHO I think it's better to get on with
things rather than deferring the entire driver probe just because an
optional feature isn't ready for use. But if you want me to handle
-EPROBE_DEFER here I will.
