This will return IRQ_HANDLED no matter if there was an interrupt
actually handled. That means that if something goes wrong due to some
bug or a hardware change (eg, a new version of the IP) and there's
another interrupt fired we won't clear it and the interrupt core won't
be able to detect that it's a spurious interrupt and use its own error
handling. It's better to return IRQ_NONE in that case.

Are you sure it's safe to use devm_request_irq(), especially when
unloading the driver? Using it means that we will only disable the
interrupt after the driver's remove function has finished so there's a
danger of an interrupt firing when some of the resources the hander has
used are still in use. I didn't spot any issues, just something to
check especially with the later patches building on top of this.
