No, this is more pathological than that. The USB framework seems to be
using threaded interrupts, which implies that interrupts are
re-enabled as soon as it has run.
In turn, this driver is using handle_simple_irq() as its flow, which
definitely expect interrupts to be disabled.
I have no insight in how this driver works, but I'm happy to help if
someone explains the interrupt flow of this thing.
