You get shouted at because you are registering an interrupt handler
for the same IRQ twice, and the interrupt is not configured with the
SHARED flag. If, as I understand it, you only have a single device
using this interrupt, then it means your driver is not freeing its
interrupt on unload.

And that's probably because the device object used when requesting the
interrupt isn't the one you load/unload, as indicated by the message.
On the first load of "usb3peri", you register an interrupt with
"usb3drd" as the requester device. You then unload "usb3peri", which
of course has no effect whatsoever on the interrupt.

You could simply have done a "cat /proc/interrupt" and see that
interrupt was still there after unload.

So the only bug here is in the handling of the interrupt request. And
that bug firmly lies in your code. My "expert" advise is to debug the
problem rather than suspecting some random failure modes.

Thanks,
