Are you sure about the 1ms?

Make it a dev_dbg() or remove completely.

never read value?

There's ms_to_ktime()....and the "5" doesn't match your patch
description.

IMHO it makes no sense to request an IRQ if the device doesn't have one,
and then try to fix up things in the error path. What about this?

What about the IS_ERR(addr) case?

I don't like it when polling is unconditionally set up in case of an irq
error. I'm not sure if we need an explicit device tree property....
