But delaying the device add is the issue. For example, adding a device
could trigger the loading of the corresponding module using uevents.
But now this change would delay that step. That can have other
unintended consequences -- slowing down boot, what if the driver was
working fine without the IRQ, etc.

I'd say move them both. If Russell hasn't already picked this up, then
I'd say redo your Patch 3/3.

Btw, I've been working on [1] cleaning up the one-off deferred probe
solution that we have for amba devices. That causes a bunch of other
headaches. Your patch 3/3 takes us further in the wrong direction by
adding more reasons for delaying the addition of the device.
