Re: [PATCH] net: qcom/emac: claim the irq only when the device is opened

In emac_mac_down() however we need synchronize_irq(), since it ensures
that the irq
handler is not running any more when it (synchronize_irq) returns.

So in general, if a driver disables a interrupt but does not free it, it 
should call synchronize_irq()?
