That is the case here, isn't it (on omap3)? One interrupt line (the DSS
irq, the same returned both from dsi.pdev and dispc.pdev), and two
handlers, one in dispc and one in dsi? Or what do you mean?

On omap2 there's no dsi code ran, so dispc is the only one requesting
the irq, and thus IRQF_SHARED is extra. In omap4 there are separate irq
lines (dsi.pdev and dispc.pdev return different irqs), and so
IRQF_SHARED is again extra. But I don't see any harm in IRQF_SHARED even
in omap2/4.
