in_interrupt() is ill defined and does not provide what the name suggests. The usage especially in driver code is deprecated and a tree wide effort to clean up and consolidate the (ab)usage of in_interrupt() and related checks is happening. In this case the checks cover only parts of the contexts in which these functions cannot be called. They fail to detect preemption or interrupt disabled invocations. As the functions which are invoked from the various places contain already a broad variety of checks (always enabled or debug option dependent) cover all invalid conditions already, there is no point in having inconsistent warnings in those drivers. Just remove them.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
