I see. No, I don't think we have.

Also, I feel a bit uncomfortable with devm'ified irq request/free. devm is fine for allocs and
reserving stuff, but this one affects the HW state, and your irq handler could get called until devm
frees the irq at some late point of time.

Well, it can be made to work, but just need to be careful. I've had my irq handlers getting called
too early or too late so many times that I'm a bit paranoid about it =).
