It is not *wrong* device, it just parent device, which is telling
its child to manage it.

I agree, using parent device is wrong here.

Got it, but I guess, by using devm_request_irq() with child device is not a design bug

In a real life situation, for eg: A parent owns a property, 

Parent is thinking it is efficient to handle the property by its child
rather than him. So it can tell its child to manage the property. 
The parent share the property details and child manages it efficiently.
