I don't really see the gain of it.

For example, or with if (...) return _OUT; return _IN;'

I didn't get this scenario. Is it real?

In ->probe() you set _default_ handler to bad(), what do you mean by
'set the handler back to bad()'? How is it otherwise if you free an
interrupt?

So, please elaborate with call traces what the scenario / use case you
are talking about. If it's true what you are saying, we have a
situation (plenty of GPIO drivers don't do what you are suggesting
here).

Perhaps comment in the code explaining this?
