Should it? AFAIU, .interrupt_service_routine() is a subde operation to be
called by a bridge driver, when it gets an interrupt for the respective
subdevice:
interrupt_service_routine: Called by the bridge chip's interrupt service
handler, when an interrupt status has be raised due to this subdev,
typo ^^
so that this subdev can handle the details. It may schedule work to be
performed later. It must not sleep. *Called from an IRQ context*.
In this case the device does indeed have 2 interrupt output lines, but I
don't think they would be connected to dedicated bridge inputs, rather to
GPIOs, so, the driver can implement an ISR itself, when it decides to
implement support for those interrupts.
