And how does that help ? The interrupt is shared between the timer and
the debug port. There is nothing you can do about that.

The interupt handlers are called in order of setup. The AT91 timer
irq is set up first and if that's not the case then it needs to be
fixed and the only way to catch it is in the affected interrupt
handler.

Applying your patch does not change the hardware and will just result
in useless, annoying and confusing dmesg warnings.

Nice that you added me (and others) to that long list, but ...
