Yes Andy, I agree with your comments and I will address them in the next v2 series.

Sorry, even for erroneous state I was returning IRQ_HANDLED.
As shown below, now for erroneous state and spurious interrupt I will return
IRQ_NONE and for valid interrupt IRQ_HANDLED will be returned.

Is below method is correct?

static irqreturn_t bma400_interrupt(int irq, void *private)
{
       struct iio_dev *indio_dev = private;
       struct bma400_data *data = iio_priv(indio_dev);
       int ret;
       __le16 status;

       mutex_lock(&data->mutex);
       ret = regmap_bulk_read(data->regmap, BMA400_INT_STAT0_REG, &status,
                              sizeof(status));
       mutex_unlock(&data->mutex);
       if (ret)
               return IRQ_NONE;

       if (le16_to_cpu(status) & BMA400_INT_DRDY_MSK) {
               iio_trigger_poll_chained(data->trig);
	       return IRQ_HANDLED;
	}

        return IRQ_NONE;
}
