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.

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.

Best regards
Uwe
