iio_trigger_poll() calls generic_handle_irq(). This function expects to

Was there an error or warning that lead to this patch?

Or can you point to what call in generic_handle_irq is making the
assumption that we are breaking?
Given this is using the irq_work framework I'm wondering if this is
a more general problem?
If I understand correctly, the kernel temporarily disables hardware interrupts
while hardware irq handlers are run. In case of the iio-trig-hrtim and iio-trig-sysfs
interrupts, __handle_irq_event_percpu() is not called from a hardware irq
(where interrupts would be disabled), but from software.
The sysfs IIO trigger uses irq_work to schedule the iio_trigger_poll()
and the promise of irq_work is that the callback will run in hard IRQ
context. That's the whole point of it.
irq_work_run_list(), which shows up in your callgraph, has as
BUG_ON(!irqs_disabled())[1], so we should never even get to calling
iio_trigger_poll() if IRQs where not disabled at this point. That's the
same condition that triggers the WARN_ON() in __handle_irq_event_percpu.
Are you using a non-upstream kernel? Maybe a RT kernel?
