IIRC you add dead code. IRQ framework never calls this if type is not set.
Yes, but it is allowed to call
irq_set_irq_type(irq, IRQ_TYPE_NONE);
and the irq framework won't disallow it AFAICT.
That's true, but how you may end up in this callback with a such? What the meaning of that call to the user?

I’m wondering if those above should be packed.
You are talking about the newly added ones or the ones before ?
In any case, they are all already packed (i.e. they have explicit padding wherever required) and properly aligned. Compiler won't add any other padding to them.
Is it only for 64-bit to 64-bit communications? If there is a possibility to have 32-bit to 64-bit or vice versa communication you have a problem.
