It'd be good to add a comment here on why we are checking for the NULL pointer.
Something like,

"If CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ is set, the IRQ handler will get invoked during
__free_irq() and by that time mhi_ctxt() would've freed. So check for the
existence of mhi_ctxt before handling the IRQs."

Thanks,
