No, this doesn't work for shared IRQs.

The only option today is to use free_irq() in runtime suspend and then
re-request the irq to re-install the handler at runtime resume.

That's not an optimal solution, which is pointed out in the below
discussion as well. Moreover, it has also turned out using free_irq()
is also problematic in cases threaded handlers are used.

Here's the link to the discussion, it's not the only one I know of, so
this is common problem.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/1/28/213

Care to have a hack on the "common" solution, which in principle means
adding APIs to genirq that can disable/enable handlers from being
called, rather than the entire IRQ line.

Kind regards
