Wouldn't that be racy, given that an interrupt which occurs at beween
the point in time when the driver decides to wait for IRQs again until
the mux has finished switching over, could potentially be lost?

If there is another way to solve that cleanly on at least some hardware
derivats, I'd say that should be preferred and be supported by the driver.
