is there any more to having a single interrupt drive multiple handlers than IRQF_SHARED?

They don't have to be aware of each other, only about the fact that their
IRQ may be shared. And they have to be aware of that because they've
registered their ISR with IRQF_SHARED flag.

Not on one device, each handler will check registers of its own device,
to see if it triggered the IRQ.
