This is a poor changelog.

The reader doesn't know what the implication of the bug is.  I _assume_
that it means that the driver can only be loaded a single time.  That
on a second modprobe, it fails to allocate the interrupt and fails.

In which case this is a fairly serious bug and perhaps the patch should
be backported into the -stable tree.

Or I could be all wrong about all of that.  This is why it's better if
the patch submitter *explains* these things, rather than leaving others
to guess.

I'm sorry for that as well as for sending this patch twice. I will do better
next time.

This is perfectly correct assumption.

There is no point backporting it as this driver is broken for ages without
single complain.
