Such change is out of the scope of this series, there are two
options that I'd prefer (in the listed order):

 1. accept the patch as it is, this patch is not sent today the
    first time and at the current state it's correct.
 2. not accept a change on this line

Replacing devm_request_irq belongs to another series and,
besides, I don't want to ask Liao to hold on this series for such
trivialities.

Thank you,
Andi
