There is this series https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/3/6/433 which causes 
generic_handle_irq() to issue an warning if it is called with IRQs on, 
for a IRQ controller that can't handle it.

But I'm not convinced this applies to the IIO code, since this is a 
purely virtual interrupt and is not interfering with any interrupt 
controller hardware.
