I think this need some better documentation. Why is it safe to use
devm_request_irq rather than irq_set_chained_handler here?

Usually it is preferred to use irq_set_chained_handler() for the chained
handler so the handler does not show up in /proc/interrupts.
This requires an exclusive non-shared handler which is not the case on
the intel platform. So they have to use devm_request_irq() instead.
