I suggest commit log as following:

     raw/ifpga/base: fix interrupt handler instance usage

     Interrupt handler copied to the local 'intr_handle' variable by value
     before passing it to IRQ functions.
     This leads IRQ functions update the local variable instead of
     'ifpga_irq_handle'.

     Instead, using 'intr_handle' local variable as pointer to
     'ifpga_irq_handle' as intended.

     Also handle unsupported interrupt type requests properly, on unsupported
     interrupt case:
     'ifpga_unregister_msix_irq()' returns success
     'ifpga_register_msix_irq()' return failure.

     Fixes: e0a1aafe2af9 ("raw/ifpga: introduce IRQ functions")

The "Also" part highlights that patch addressed two different issues, for next 
time please split different fixes to the different patches.

Title "fix bug" doesn't give much information, better to give some context.


And for the following part in the original commit log:
"
Treat positive return value of ifpga_unregister_msix_irq()
as successful.
"
It is missing in the patch, I see that part is in the next patch :)

+1 to update, since 'rte_intr_callback_unregister()' can return positive, but 
perhaps better to move the change too into its own patch.
