Oops my bad. I'd even been told as much from another patch. Fixed in
v3.

For now I'll leave this as-is. Linus W was thinking about what an API
for devices requiring shared irqs would look like. If that happens soon
then then this driver could switch to use this API. If it's going to be
a while I'll look at adding a helper as suggested and updating the 3
drivers that I know of that could benefit from it.
