Are you sure there's no possibility of the interrupt firing after you start to tear down the device? By using a specifically threaded IRQ you're also adding a performance overhead for no good reason if you can call netdev_carrier_*() from IRQ context and the GPIO is capable of generating a hard IRQ. If you use request_any_context_irq() instead then the driver will get a hard IRQ if that's supported.
There isn't devm* variant of request_any_context_irq(), and using plain version looks inconsistent with other resources handling. Anyway, this is not performance critical procedure, and latency around 100 millisecond is acceptable. Some our boards even don't have this gpio at all, and nothing bad happens, just userspace doesn't know is carrier on or off. Some gpio cannot generate irq at all, and if goal is to support any - I can easily convert this to background polling from delayed_work procedure. If it is required for generalized mainstream driver. -- Mike
