Right.

No. Interrupts are enabled again before pcap_adc_irq() runs.

pcap_isr_work() doesn't call pcap_adc_irq directly, it calls the
irq_flow_handler, handle_simple_irq(), which needs to run with
interrupts disabled. Interrupts are enabled again on handle_IRQ_event(),
as pcap_adc_irq is requested _without_ IRQF_DISABLED.
