Yes, dropping the chip data should be OK in the driver, but the only question is whether it is the right fix. Did you check whether the issue happens with 4.15-rc, too? This was never answered in bugzilla. If I understand correctly, the code triggering Oops has been changed largely there and it should prune the non-legacy irqs.
