Revert "irq: Always set IRQF_ONESHOT if no primary handler is specified"
This reverts commit f3637a5f2e2eb391ff5757bc83fb5de8f9726464. It turns out that this breaks several drivers, one example being OMAP boards which use the on-board OMAP UARTs and the omap-serial driver that will not boot to userspace after the commit. Paul Walmsley reports that enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ reveals 'IRQ handler type mismatch' errors: IRQ handler type mismatch for IRQ 74 current handler: serial idle ... and the reason is that setting IRQF_ONESHOT will now result in those interrupt handlers having different IRQF flags, and thus being unsharable. So the commit log in the reverted commit: "Since it is required for those users and there is no difference for others it makes sense to add this flag unconditionally." is simply not true: there may not be any difference from a "actions at irq time", but there is a *big* difference wrt this flag testing irq management (see __setup_irq() in kernel/irq/manage.c). One solution may be to stop verifying IRQF_ONESHOT in __setup_irq(), but right now the safe course of action is to revert the change. Let's revisit this in a later merge window.
