the return value for request_irq() is negative but still it shows
the handler message. what could be the problem ???
Did you remember free_irq in the module exit code? Its possible the
second time you load the module it cannot acquire the interrupt
because it was never released the first time (just guessing here). If
thats the case, you must add free_irq and you may have to reboot.
