Yes.

Because it will cascade into another irq primary handler (PCIe device irq
handler in this case). The irq primary handler must run in hard irq
context. But if imx6_pcie_msi_handler() run in a thread context, it
will cause the PCIe device primary irq handler also run in the same
thread context. That is why we get the kernel warning.

Yes.

I know that irq_set_chained_handler_and_data() is used by many drivers
when setting a cascade handler e.g. gpio and msi. But as you can see,
the imx driver (the same for dra7xx, exynos and spear) does set IRQF_SHARED
when requesting irq. This flag implies that this irq may be shared with
other device or function and irq_set_chained_handler_and_data() definitely
should not be used for a situation like this. Of course this maybe just a
paste error, but I am not sure about this. So I choose to still use
devm_request_irq(). There are other pros when using devm_request_irq() here
such as:
* simple error and exit path
* kstats update

OK.
