Those seem to be software configuration values though, not part of hardware
description.

Well an interrupt can always happen, its running fully asynchronous to the
CPU. If you have multiple interrupt sources enabled and the first one fires
and you run then start the irq handler, read the status register, now the
second irq sources fires, and then you clear the status interrupt register.
This means the driver will not see the irq from the second source.

Yeah, but if you don't handle any interrupt you should return IRQ_NONE. This
will make sure that the system can recover in case the hardware (or the
driver) is broken and generates unexpected interrupts. If there are a 1000
or so IRQ_NONEs in a row in a short time frame the kernel will disable the IRQ.

Yes, but what decides how this property should be configured?

Sorry, I meant the (int) cast.
