This is better, it explains what is going on, why the change is being
made. But when i see this, i think about the interrupt handler. You
don't just enable a new interrupt, you also need to handle the
interrupt. Where is that handler code?

The commit message is the place you try to answer the questions
reviewers are going to ask. So if the interrupt handler already looks
for this interrupt cause and handles it, add a statement to the commit
message explaining it.
