The queue should be good at this time because it is part of i2c_imx
which is allocated before interrupt (so freed after interrupt).

Like Wolfram suggested, the interrupt comes because of deferred probe.
The only solution would be to free the IRQ in error path... and in
driver remove.

This basically kills the concept of devm for interrupts. Some other
drivers experience exactly the same pattern. I now reproduced it on
unbind of dspi driver of VF5xx:

echo 4002d000.spi > /sys/devices/platform/soc/40000000.bus/4002d000.spi/driver/unbind
