I took a second look at caam_jr_init and there is apparently a whole 
bunch of other reset/init stuff done after request_irq. For example 
caam_reset_hw_jr is done after request_irq and masks interrupts?

What I'd expect is that request_irq is done last after all other 
initialization is performed. But I'm not familiar with how CAAM JRs work 
so feel free to ignore this.
