That's true of course ... OK I'll update the patch.

Still I'm not feeling good about the irq_create_mapping/irq_find_mapping
separation, I think a lot of drivers just get this wrong and it's causing
bugs... it'd be way better if there was just one of them and we could
count on descriptors being allocated after adding any kind of irqdomain
but I have no clue how hard it would be to achieve this.
