Slight misunderstanding. My fault; I should have been more explicit.

1. Any setup necessary for the isr not to be confused and misdirect spurious
   interrupts (or hang) should be before installing the isr with request_irq()
   None of this code should trigger an interrupt.
2. Clear pending interrupts
3. Install the isr with request_irq()
4. Enable interrupts

For extra safety, first disable interrupts before starting h/w programming.

I would do the v5 series in the same order as the v3 series only up to
what I reviewed. Then do another series with the remainder plus new changes, ok?
