Re: [PATCH v1] Moving init_completion before request_irq

Hello Kshitiz & Ahmad,

Thus wrote Ahmad Fatoum (a.fatoum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx):

I agree with Ahmad that this is the better approach.

We should clear pending irqs and disable interrupt sources on the
hardware level before we install our irq handler.

Best regards,
