The patch looks bogus since there is no code exercising the added
irqdomain code in this patch, it's basically a no-op in the irq
path, which is wrong for an irqdomain.
It is lacking a irq_create_mapping() in stmpe_gpio_to_irq(),
removal of the irq_base member and usage of
irq_find_mapping() in stmpe_gpio_irq().
Only then will the irqdomain actually be used for what it's
intended for.
So I get the impression that this is one of these "let's
just throw a dummy irqdomain in there so we can use
it with devicetree" kind of things...
Yours,
