    Please think hard before including complete backtraces in upstream
    reports, they are very large and contain almost no useful information
    relative to their size so often obscure the relevant content in your
    message. If part of the backtrace is usefully illustrative (it often is
    for search engines if nothing else) then it's usually better to pull out
    the relevant sections.

    Indeed. The upshot of all this is that the interrupt needs to be freed
    not disabled before the clocks are disabled, or some other mechanism
    needs to be used to ensure that the interrupt handler won't attempt to
    access the hardware when it shouldn't. As Vladimir says there are
    serious issues using devm for interrupt handlers (or anything else that
    might cause code to be run) due to problems like this.
