Then you probably want to use devm_request_any_context_irq() - the
driver does not necessarily care if IRQ is threaded or not, t can work
either way.

Input layer is an abstraction; I am trying to keep all attributes
generic and applicable to all input devices. If you look at other input
drivers you will see that attributes that control hardware behavior are
attached to the devices representing the hardware itself. For example
attributes to control report rate of PS/2 mouse belong to serio port
that represents the physical mouse device; typematic rate of AT
keyboards also tied to serio port, etc, etc.
Thanks.
