No, Only comment the test, you must absolutely leave the
__hard_irq_disable() call ! That's the whole point of the test, make
sure we unconditionally disable to see if that fixes the problem, in
which case that will tell us that we somewhere accidentally leave
irq_happened set to 0x01 while irqs are hard enabled.

Cheers,
Ben.
