I meant without IRQF_ONESHOT: 

is_kdump_kernel() ? 0 : IRQF_ONESHOT, note that devm_request_irq is just:

static inline int __must_check
devm_request_irq(struct device *dev, unsigned int irq, irq_handler_t handler,
		 unsigned long irqflags, const char *devname, void *dev_id)
{
	return devm_request_threaded_irq(dev, irq, handler, NULL, irqflags | IRQF_COND_ONESHOT,
					 devname, dev_id);
}

Not a strong opinion though, just suggesting a way to remove the if.

Ahh I missed that, somehow.
