Hi Yannick,

I propose a different approach, see here after.

Same as for patch one,
Fixes: 695e2f5c289b ("iio: adc: stm32-adc: fix a regression when using
dma and irq")

Here, a slightly different approach could be used... There's a long
pending discussion, where Olivier or I should push further patches to
support threadirqs (hopefully soon).
In this discussion with Jonathan [1], he exposed the need to remove this
message. Words from Jonathan:
"This seems 'unusual'.  If this is a spurious interrupt we should be
returning IRQ_NONE and letting the spurious interrupt protection
stuff kick in."

[1]
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20210116175333.4d8684c5@archlinux/

So basically, I suggest to completely get rid of this message:

-	if (!(status & mask))
-		dev_err_ratelimited(&indio_dev->dev,
-				    "Unexpected IRQ: IER=0x%08x, ISR=0x%08x\n",
-				    mask, status);

Here the statement becomes useless, so it could be removed:
-	u32 mask = stm32_adc_readl(adc, regs->ier_eoc.reg);
-
-	if (!(status & mask))
-		return IRQ_WAKE_THREAD;

This would avoid some complexity here (and so headaches or regressions
like the one you've hit).

This also should serve the two purposes:
- fall into kernel generic handler for spurious IRQs (by returning
IRQ_NONE below)
- by the way fix current issue in stm32f4


I Hope this is still inline with Jonathan's words earlier ;-)

Fabrice
