sounds odd?

devm_request_irq and friends arent apt here. You are in .remove and get an
irq, what prevents that race? You need to run free_irq and synchronize_irq()
to ensure everything is proper before freeing up.

Also why threaded_irq when dmaengine API mandates you to use tasklet? The
callback is supposed to be invoked from a tasklet.

Thanks
