Subject: Re: wlcore: might_sleep operation in interrupt handler

More precise (IRQF_ONESHOT flag may be used):

int __devinit wlcore_probe(struct wl1271 *wl, struct platform_device *pdev)
{
...
        if (wl->platform_quirks & WL12XX_PLATFORM_QUIRK_EDGE_IRQ)
                irqflags = IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING;
        else
                irqflags = IRQF_TRIGGER_HIGH | IRQF_ONESHOT;

        ret = request_threaded_irq(wl->irq, wl12xx_hardirq, wlcore_irq,
                                   irqflags,
                                   pdev->name, wl);
