I somehow missed sending these patches to Dmitry.. 
I'll do it next series.

He originally suggested this way.
An alternative was to handle irqs in mfd core which would 
seriously complicate code and patches..

Whenever I change the handlers to the way you suggest.
i.e. Handle what each irq handler does and return IRQ_HANDLED
if the irq handler handled nothing then return IRQ_NONE.

The driver hangs when I'm brutal while touching the TSC and 
continuously sampling the ADC. Not always. But happens.

When I check /proc/interrupts the hardware irqs seem to be firing.
But for some reason the whole thing messes up..

I sense a mismatch. Probably because of different styles of coding
these bit handling :).

I'll look into it and the alternative way you suggested as well.
