Do you mean doing it right before returning from panfrost_device_init()?
I thought about this, that maybe all device interrupts (gpu, mmu, jm) should be
enabled only when all the other subsystems are initialised, perhaps in a sort of
panfrost_device_init_initerrupts() function at the very end of panfrost_device_init().

Some of the pre-existing issues detected by Sashiko were about potential nasty interactions
of the IRQ handler when triggered by a spurious interrupt at the time some of the driver
structures aren't fully initialised, so this might be good. What do you think?
