The whope point of using devm_* calls is so you don't have to do stuff
like this. Perhaps this should not be using devm_() for the irq at all?

My initial assumption was that some sort of dependency was missing
somewhere to ensure this gets freed first, but I failed to find any
documentation on how this is supposed to work, so I went with a fix
that would work.

But you are obviously right, if we manually free it in the normal path
then using devm_{request,free}_irq sounds like just overhead without
benefits.

Right, please also move the irq-request over to be non devm and
also don't forgot that the error-exit path from the probe()
function also needs to free the irq before disabling the pci-dev.
