I've made an attempt to fix the mentioned issues, but I'm not sure it is complete.
The commit made some other changes as well which didn't seem appropriate here to me.
And I didn't compile or run test this.

As a side note, in the function changed by the commit you mentioned, el2_open(), it
appears that in current git, boolean `seen' cannot ever become true, can it? So it
loops forever until the request_irq() returns an error other than -EBUSY. Not sure
how it should be fixed though.
