This rule needs some improvement.

flags = IRQF_ONESHOT | ...;

should be replaced by:

(
flags = IRQF_ONESHOT | ...
|
flags |= IRQF_ONESHOT | ...
)
... when != flags = e

where e should be a new expression metavariable.  This effects a number of
changes.  1) Dropping the ; after the assignment allows an isomorphism to
trigger that allows it to match a variable declaration as well, 2)
IRQF_ONESHOT can be added after the original initialization by a |=, 3)
there can be some instructions between the initialization of flags and the
use.

Afterwards, the big disjunction with the irq calls is too specific.
In particular, these calls can also occur in an if test.  The disjunction
should be replaced by the following:

(
request_threaded_irq@p(irq, NULL, thread_fn, flags, ...)
|
devm_request_threaded_irq@p(dev, irq, NULL, thread_fn, flags, ...)
)
