What tree are you (Bjorn) using there?  Looking in my git history,
request_threaded_irq() was added in January 2014, as:

+               irqf_trigger =
+                       irqd_get_trigger_type(irq_get_irq_data(client->irq));
+               ret = request_threaded_irq(client->irq, NULL,
+                                          tda998x_irq_thread,
+                                          irqf_trigger | IRQF_ONESHOT,
+                                          "tda998x", priv);

and updated more recently for the CEC support in ae81553c30ef
("drm/i2c: tda998x: allow interrupt to be shared") to be:

-               irqf_trigger =
+               irq_flags =
                        irqd_get_trigger_type(irq_get_irq_data(client->irq));
+               irq_flags |= IRQF_SHARED | IRQF_ONESHOT;
                ret = request_threaded_irq(client->irq, NULL,
-                                          tda998x_irq_thread,
-                                          irqf_trigger | IRQF_ONESHOT,
+                                          tda998x_irq_thread, irq_flags,
                                           "tda998x", priv);

In all cases, IRQF_ONESHOT has been set for this threaded interrupt.

I've also checked drm-next, and it doesn't show anything like what
Bjorn quoted.

Confused.  Bjorn, can you double check that what you think are
erroneous request_threaded_irq() calls are actually as per what
you quoted please?
