1c6c69525b40 ("genirq: Reject bogus threaded irq requests") makes sure
that threaded IRQs either
  - have IRQF_ONESHOT set

This is necessary because level-triggered interrupts need to be masked,
either at device or irqchip, to avoid an interrupt storm.

For spurious interrupts, the STM32 ADC driver still does this bogus
request though:
  - It doesn't set IRQF_ONESHOT
  - Its primary handler just returns IRQ_WAKE_THREAD if the interrupt
    is unexpected, i.e. !(status & enabled_mask)
This seems 'unusual'.  If this is a spurious interrupt we should be
returning IRQ_NONE and letting the spurious interrupt protection
stuff kick in.

The only reason I can see that it does this is print an error message.
I'm not sure why we need to go into the thread to do that given
it's not supposed to happen. If we need that message at all, I'd
suggest doing it in the interrupt handler then return IRQ_NONE;

  - stm32mp151.dtsi describes the ADC interrupt as level-triggered

Fix this by setting IRQF_ONESHOT to have the irqchip mask the IRQ
until the IRQ thread has finished.

IRQF_ONESHOT also has the effect that the primary handler is no longer
forced into a thread. This makes the issue with spurious interrupts
interrupts disappear when reading the ADC on a threadirqs=1 kernel.
This used to result in following kernel error message:

	iio iio:device1: Unexpected IRQ: IER=0x00000000, ISR=0x0000100e
or
	iio iio:device1: Unexpected IRQ: IER=0x00000004, ISR=0x0000100a

But with this patch applied (or threaded IRQs disabled), this no longer
occurs.
