Perhaps the same would be true in the following code, from the file
drivers/edac/highbank_l2_edac.c:

        res = devm_request_irq(&pdev->dev, drvdata->sb_irq,
                               highbank_l2_err_handler,
                               0, dev_name(&pdev->dev), dci);
        if (res < 0)
                goto err;

        dci->mod_name = dev_name(&pdev->dev);
        dci->dev_name = dev_name(&pdev->dev);

        if (edac_device_add_device(dci))
                goto err;

        devres_close_group(&pdev->dev, NULL);
        return 0;
err:
    	devres_release_group(&pdev->dev, NULL);
        edac_device_free_ctl_info(dci);

Is devm_request_irq perhaps not a very good idea?
