That's not what your code says...  it may be that the other interrupts
are very rare but that's not the same thing.

That's a rather large function...

Rename.

No, please describe the problem you're trying to fix.  If nothing else
think about what you're saying here - if this is a common need then it's
something that's going to be handled in generic code, not open coded in
individual drivers.  Like I say I would expect that you have problems
elsewhere in your code which you are masking with this.
