Even if we got rid of devm_*irq() functions, I see that the free_irq() function requires dev_id argument. * There can be multiple actions per IRQ descriptor, find the right * one based on the dev_id: I still need to keep track of the dev_ids attached to request_irq() functions. My take away from the discussion is: 1. don't use devm family of functions for IRQ registration/free 2. still keep track of the events 3. call free_irq on shutdown.
