Indeed, it's in the subnode. It's fine.

Yeah, I was once thinking to check them, because there is an easy hint
problems are possible: if driver has remove() callback which does
anything with resources. However even if driver code looks unsafe, it
requires quite some time to figure out if the issue is real - need to
find other driver who will trigger the interrupt afterwards.

You can BTW test it with CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ + bind/unbind.

Maybe we need some more explicit documentation around devm() or IRQF_SHARED.
