irq allocated with devm_request_irq should not be freed using
free_irq, because doing so causes a dangling pointer, and a
subsequent double free.

Does the free_irq(pci_irq_vector(pdev, nr, cq)) call also need to change (not shown)?
Yes, I missed that, it should be changed too.

Having said that, why have these at all if we use devm_request_irq()? devm_irq_release() calls free_irq().
I keep the original logic here, only avoid double free.

Thanks,
John
