I guess?  As I understood it drivers have to be very carefully coded
up to support sharing their IRQ with someone else and I'm not
convinced dwc2 does that anyway.  Certainly it doesn't hurt to keep
dwc2 clean, but until I see someone that's actually sharing dwc2's
interrupt and I can actually see an example I'm not sure I'm going to
spend too much time thinking about it.

More than it not hurting, I'd consider it a bug in the driver (and a
much more serious one than shutdown not disabling the interrupt).

Sure.  So I guess the answer is to just do both disable the interrupt
and make sure that the interrupt handler has finished.

dwc2_disable_global_interrupts(hsotg);
disable_irq(hsotg->irq);
