Hmm. Do you actually need the full revert?

I think it's only the __setup_irq() part that looks like it may be garbage.

For example, I think it releases the resources twice if the
__irq_set_trigger() call fails.

But it looks questionably in other ways too - notably, the change to
make the request call be in the same context as the freeing is done is
apparently done entirely for symmetry reasons, not for any actual
*reason* reasons.

So I suspect just the __setup_irq() parts should be reverted, because
they look both buggy and pointless. But the actual *real* part of the
patch was the two-liner __free_irq() part, and that looks sane to me.

So Sebastian, can you test if it's ok to revert just the __setup_irq()
part, but leave the smaller part in __free_irq() that just moves the
irq_release_resources() around at freeing time?

Thomas? Comments?
