I think you want WARN_ON(!irqs_disabled) to catch that,
not WARN_ON_ONCE(!in_hardirq()).

There's another USB GPIO irqchip queued up for 5.19 now:
https://git.kernel.org/netdev/net-next/c/1ce8b37241ed

And there's one more in drivers/hid/hid-cp2112.c, but that calls
handle_nested_irq(), which disables hardirqs.

Thanks,
