And that triggered a "what the hell does that mean" warning in my
wetware error parser ;-).

That could be better worded - it isn't "missing", it hasn't been
appropriately set. So maybe "unset error code"?

Looks like a false positive to me - as per the comment in the code, that path
(2258) results in lineevent_release() being called and that releases the irq.
