Because my heart is not with your solution of irq-related problem. I can't do
it.

I've done exactly that. The series of two patches. First [patch 1/2] - deals
exclusively with memory freeing issues and you have no objections to it.
Second [patch 2/2] which we disagreed upon - deals with irq-related issues.

Me too. But we have different vision of the solution to the irq-related issue.
That's why I won't write the irq-related part.
Also, I don't understand, why do you want two unrelated fixes in one patch?
When they are separated, they are easier to discuss, study and revert if
needed.

So, why not to stop here and accept this one patch? I won't write the
irq-related part anyway, as my heart is with the solution in [patch 2/2] and
you disagree with it.
So, the irq-related part should be done by someone else. Maybe by you, why
not?
