I think the main point is we should allocate managed resource which is used
at interrupt handler before devm_request_irq, and all resources used
at interrupt
handler should be managed.

If we use non-managed resource at interrupt handler, but using managed interrupt
handler, things still will go wrong if there is an odd (unexpected)
interrupt after
we finish deactivation at removal.
