I was imagining something like:

	if (!gpu_read(ptdev, __reg_prefix ## _INT_STAT))
  		return IRQ_NONE;
	
	old_state = atomic_cmpxchg(&pirq->state,
				   PANTHOR_IRQ_STATE_ACTIVE,
				   PANTHOR_IRQ_STATE_PROCESSING);
	if (old_state != PANTHOR_IRQ_STATE_ACTIVE)
		return IRQ_NONE;

such that the processing phase starts as soon as we know we're going to
wake up the irq thread, not when we enter the threaded handler.

I think this is better done in the raw_handler (see above).

Similarly, I think I'd go for

	old_state = atomic_cmpxchg(&pirq->state,
				   PANTHOR_IRQ_STATE_PROCESSING,
				   PANTHOR_IRQ_STATE_ACTIVE);
	if (old_state == PANTHOR_IRQ_STATE_PROCESSING)
  		gpu_write(ptdev, __reg_prefix ## _INT_MASK, pirq->mask);
