I don't follow this. If you've handled the RX IRQ, you want to return
IRQ_HANDLED. And if it's a different bit set you haven't handled it.

Why not use the tx interrupts too?

put the string on the one line so it's grepable.

Take a look a the help for pr_fmt in include/linux/printk.h. This way
you get the driver name prefix for all pr_ messages.

Are you sure we need to take a lock and disable interrupts here?

same as above. I think the reason for doing this might have been if
you had a set of registers to change inside the critical section that
you needed to appear atomic. But this hardware only has one register
to flip, so we can do without the locking.
