I've not precisely checked it, but smth is telling me that below 
patch  can cause this:

commit 78daaca78ee57dead0f4aa5ee399f0499e81cd9e
Author: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx>
Date:   Thu May 4 22:10:50 2017 +0200

    mfd: twl4030-irq: Drop unnecessary static
    
    Drop static on a local variable, when the variable is initialized before
    any use, on every possible execution path through the function.

--- a/drivers/mfd/twl4030-irq.c
+++ b/drivers/mfd/twl4030-irq.c
@@ -685,7 +685,7 @@ int twl4030_sih_setup(struct device *dev, int module, int irq_base)
 
 int twl4030_init_irq(struct device *dev, int irq_num)
 {
-       static struct irq_chip  twl4030_irq_chip;
+       struct irq_chip twl4030_irq_chip;


but if we will look at code - it can be seen that this variable is passed by reference to
irq_set_chip_and_handler(). 
Ops. And what will happen when twl4030_init_irq() returns ;)
