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.
Yes, for Intel Quark, it has a single PCI function exporting a GPIO and I2C controller, and the irq is shared by GPIO and I2C, so we need shared irq as the comments said.
