Thanks, this puts things into perspective.

Yes, this function looked a bit more complicated when I started to clean
this. So not removing the out label was just an oversight.

I haven't seen any spurious IRQs during my testing. So not doing
anything special should be okay I think.

Thanks for noticing. I wrote that part half a year ago and don't know
the details anymore. I will look this up again (and fix if necessary)
and come back to you.
