Hi Aaron,

I've been poking around with this off and on. Unfortunately, more off
than on :-( but here's my current take:

rmi_driver_set_irq_bits() isn't going to be called all that often, and
it's not going to be called at all during normal operation, which is
where the most serious problem would occur.

I haven't entirely convinced myself that there couldn't be a problem
during repeated spontaneous device resets (for example, due to ESD, a
dodgy charger, or firmware bug, among other things). On the other
hand, all the scenarios I have come up with are both unlikely and so
contrived that the system is probably hosed regardless of what we do in
the driver.

Given that, I'm willing to accept the patch as is.

Cheers,
Chris
