After reviewing the code, I think this was actually a false alarm,
at least if svsp->irqflags always includes IRQF_ONESHOT.
The code is kind of unusual, though. Unless I am missing something,
svsp->irqflags is only set in one place and it is always set
to IRQF_TRIGGER_LOW | IRQF_ONESHOT. If there is a remote chance
that the flag is ever different, it would have been better (and less
confusing) to specify IRQF_ONESHOT directly when requesting the
interrupt (because it is always needed, no matter which SOC).
If the flags are always the same, there is no reason for having
the svsp->irqflags variable in the first place.

Thanks,
