These are wrong, too. 0 should never be a valid interrupt number. There are some exceptions but mostly for historic reasons. The right handling is used for example in drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-efm32.c. > >> + dev_err(dev->device, "no irq resource\n"); > >> + return irq; > >> + } > [...] > >> +static int bcm_iproc_i2c_remove(struct platform_device *pdev) > >> +{ > >> + struct bcm_iproc_i2c_dev *dev = platform_get_drvdata(pdev); > >> + > >> + i2c_del_adapter(&dev->adapter); > >> + bcm_iproc_i2c_disable(dev); > > I think you have a problem here if bcm_iproc_i2c_remove is called while > > an irq is still being serviced.

But > I see no I2C bus driver does this in their remove function... The problem I pointed out is the reason for some driver authors not to use devm_request_irq. If you use plain request_irq and the matching free_irq in the .remove callback you can be sure that the irq isn't running any more as soon as free_irq returns. BTW, if you use vim, you can add set cinoptions=(,: if has("autocmd") filetype plugin indent on endif to your .vimrc. Then while typing vim does the indention right and consistent, and with the = command you can reindent.
