Perhaps the same would be true in the following code, from the file
drivers/edac/highbank_l2_edac.c:

res = devm_request_irq(&pdev->dev, drvdata->sb_irq,
highbank_l2_err_handler,
0, dev_name(&pdev->dev), dci);
if (res < 0)
goto err;

dci->mod_name = dev_name(&pdev->dev);
dci->dev_name = dev_name(&pdev->dev);

if (edac_device_add_device(dci))
goto err;

devres_close_group(&pdev->dev, NULL);
return 0;
err:
devres_release_group(&pdev->dev, NULL);
edac_device_free_ctl_info(dci);

Is devm_request_irq perhaps not a very good idea?
