How do you know this is a spurious interrupt? For all you can tell,
you are just consuming an edge. I absolutely don't buy this
workaround, because you have no context that allows you to
discriminate between a real spurious interrupt and a normal interrupt
that lands while the interrupt line was masked.

If you get an interrupt at probe time in the endpoint driver, that's
probably because the device is not in a quiescent state when the
interrupt is requested. And it is probably this that needs addressing.
