No.
You claim that IRQ_NOAUTOEN makes any difference, It doesn't.
I claim that you should get rid of the disable/enable_irq() games you
play, and replace them with just requesting the interrupt.
At which point the whole IRQ_NOAUTOEN dance is entirely pointless.
Just don't do it.
This has nothing to do with trusting hardware, and everything to do
with "why do you request an interrupt that you aren't actually ready
to accept, and the hardware isn't even properly configured to generate
yet"?
See my point?
