Since OOM handling is tricky, could we add a comment to help the next
person try to understand it:

/* The OOM IRQ is level-triggered, so we'll see one at power-on before
* any jobs are submitted. The OOM IRQ is masked when this work is
* scheduled, so we can safely return if there's no binner memory
* (because no client is currently using 3D). When a bin job is
* later submitted, its tile memory allocation will end up bringing us
* back to a non-OOM state so the OOM can be triggered again.
*/

But, actually, I don't see how the OOM IRQ will ever get re-enabled.
