*_nosync should not be needed, as he doesn't call irqcontrol from the irq
handler. But using the same lock in handler and irqcontrol presents a
problem, as Alan pointed out.

Yes, because uio_register_device will enable the irq, and you might
arrive in the handler without having your platform data in place.
