There is no need to use API with _irqsave in omap_gpio_irq_handler(), because it already be in a irq-disabled context.

NACK. Who said that this is always hard IRQ handler? What about RT-kernel or boot with "threadirqs"?

In those cases, the interrupt handler is just a normal thread, so the preempt_disable() that is implied by raw_spin_lock() is sufficient. Disabling interrupts inside of an interrupt handler is always incorrect, the patch looks like a useful cleanup to me, if only for readability. Arnd
