Yes, it makes sense to do so, but you used the wrong check. The correct
one is:

irq_settings_is_per_cpu_devid()

which will not wreckage the output for other per cpu marked interrupts
which never set the percpu_affinity pointer with the obvious
consequences... The pointer would need a NULL check in any case, but it
might be more straight forward to update affinity when percpu_affinity
is initialized. Haven't looked in detail though.

Thanks,
