question in request_threaded_irq

[radhika bhaskaran]

Hi javier,

Thanks for the help.

I have tried the suggestion made by you. But unfortunately it did not work.

For my debugging purpose i tried to register two isr's on the same number
IRQ no in  the same driver. But the isr which is registerd first is being
hit.

The other isr funciton which is registered after the first isr is never
executed.

Any more suggestions?

Regards,
RB
