Sorry, I don't get you. This specific code change of removing 'devm_request_irq'
is not supposed to fix memleak.

If you are seeing the memleak getting fixed because of it, then something is
wrong with the irq implementation. You need to figure it out.

Fine.

Absolutely not. These are fixing the irq leaks. But if it is not related to the
'memleak' you observed, then these should be part of a separate patch.
