It means that __enable_irq() (see ../kernel/irq/message.c) detected that depth field in the irq_desc structure has a value of 0 rather than the expected value of 1 or more. This can be caused by a spurious IRQ.

How i do i check if an irq is already enabled?
spurious, i.e. unexpected, unprovoked, or shouldn't have happened in general.
