HI Dmitry,
Thanks for quick review.

I will take care of your comment in next version. Some have my answer.

Ok, mostly errors are in negative and hence this change, I will revert 
it and will keep original.

I understand from Mark B on different patches that using 
devm_request_irq() can create race condition when removing device. 
Interrupt can occur when device resource release is in process and so it 
can cause isr call which can use the freed pointer. devm_request_irq() 
should be avoided.
