This is no different tham a non-shared interrupt that can be triggered
by the device being removed. Since devres will release the IRQ first,
before freeing the driver data, the interrupt hander will see consistent
driver-internal state. (The difference between remove() and devres
release phase is that for the latter sysfs files are already removed.)
