Yes, it must be the same bug. I reverted
e59347a1d15c0b1d9fdc510520f8fa78d7d19a5b (arm: orion: Use generic irq
chip) on top of "3.0-rc5 + this LS-XHL patch" and the IRQ issues are
gone.

$ cat /proc/interrupts   # after toggling the buttons and setting fan
speed to 0 a few times
...
104:          4  orion_gpio_irq  GPIO fan alarm
105:          4  orion_gpio_irq  Function Button
106:          6  orion_gpio_irq  Power-auto Switch
107:          4  orion_gpio_irq  Power-on Switch

No system hang/reboot/lockups :-)

Compare that with /proc/interrupts from the bugged version; it lists
"-" instead of "orion_gpio_irq" as IRQ handler:

104:     100000         -  GPIO fan alarm
105:          0         -  Function Button
106:          0         -  Power-auto Switch
107:          0         -  Power-on Switch

Best regards,
