In regards to the spurious interrupt storm issue, yes, I fully agree.

On the other hand, in case of a shared IRQ, don't we want the genirq
core to deal with disabling the IRQ, rather than the driver?

Also, don't forget the other related issue, which is when the IRQ
handler gets invoked (not as a storm, but once is enough), either
because of a spurious IRQ or because of a shared IRQ - while the
device is in a low power state (runtime suspended with clock gated for
example). If that happens and the handler accesses a register the
handler may hang.

I fully agree that the device should be configured to not deliver
interrupt, this is the first and most important step a driver should
take. For example it should mask its device's IRQ register bits.

However, this isn't sufficient, because of shared IRQs and buggy HWs
delivering spurious IRQs.

Kind regards
Uffe
