printk should be fast enough not to justify a thread, in fact the
threaded IRQ overhead is going to be higher than the printk IMHO.

I'm not entirely sure a printk is the useful response here either ?

How can this occur ??

wait_event_interruptible ?

put_user

Not needed - you can't see a count until it is open

dev_dbg would be more appropriate. If every driver reported its
registration we'd drown in logs

Ditto
