Changing the configuration of a resource that is not owned seems to be
fairly broken. In the worst case this will overwrite the configuration that
was set by owner of the resource.

Especially those that call irq_set_irq_type() directly before request_irq(),
given that you supply the trigger type to request_irq() which will make sure
that there are no conflicts and the configure.

This is a bit like calling gpio_set_direction() before you call
gpio_request(), which will also have PM issues.

All functions for which are part of the public API and for which it is legal
to call them without calling request_irq() (or similar) first will need to
have pm_get()/pm_put().
