As long as you are reworking this section, doesn't BUG_ON seem a little harsh? I do not think the kernel should ever be crashed because a non-essential driver is messed up. As the patch would be a totally different change, it should be a new submission, but I think each of these conditions should trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE, and return IRQ_NONE when they occur.
