Which ones? From a quick grep and some filtering I could only find one
file with wrong usage apart from this one:

    drivers/net/ethernet/lantiq_etop.c:
request_irq(irq, ltq_etop_dma_irq, 0, "etop_tx", priv);
    drivers/net/ethernet/lantiq_etop.c:
request_irq(irq, ltq_etop_dma_irq, 0, "etop_rx", priv);

Of course, this does not cover other functions, but it means there
aren't many issues and/or people building the code if nobody complains
within a few weeks. So I think we can fix them as they come.

Cheers,
Miguel
