The issue is seen on the Sierra Wireless EM9191 modem during SYS_ERR
handling in mhi_async_power_up(). Once the host detects that the device
is in SYS_ERR state, it issues MHI_RESET and waits for the device to
process the reset request. During this time, the device triggers SYS_ERR

interrupt to the host and host starts handling SYS_ERR execution.


"As interrupts are setup, MHI reset results in device clearing the reset and it sends incoming BHI interrupt with state still seen as SYS_ERROR instead of READY."


So by the time the device has completed reset, host starts SYS_ERR
handling. This causes the race condition and the modem fails to boot.

Hence, register the IRQ handler only after handling the SYS_ERR check
to avoid getting spurious IRQs from the device.
