If IRQ occurs between calling  devm_request_threaded_irq() and
allegro_firmware_request_nowait(), then null pointer dereference
occurs since dev->mbox_status wasn't initialized yet but used
in allegro_mbox_notify(). 

The patch puts registration of the interrupt handler after
initializing of neccesery data.

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).

Hi Nadezda,

Thanks for the patch. As explained in [0], this is not an issue.

The interrupt handler must be registered during the execution of
allegro_fw_callback(), because the driver exchanges messages with the firmware
during the bring up. With this patch this is not guaranteed anymore.
