I'm OK with this patch in principle, but I do have a couple comments below.

It's sub-optimal to indent the whole body of a function like this.  I
think this is a bit more readable:

    if (!chip || !chip->setup_irq)
        return -EINVAL

    err = chip->setup_irq(...);
    ...
    return err;

The return value of ->setup_irq() (and hence of arch_setup_msi_irq())
is a bit unclear.  Apparently it can return negative values (errors)
or positive values (not sure what they mean), or zero (again, not
sure).  A comment would clear this up.

It might even be worth introducing a no-op chip with pointers to no-op
functions so we don't have to do these checks ("if (chip &&
chip->xxx)" everywhere.  I'm not sure if there's a Linux consensus on
that -- certainly there are many examples of code that *does* make
these checks everywhere -- so I'll ack it either way.

These functions are poorly named.  They give no clue what
"check_device" means.  Are we checking that it exists, that it
supports some property, that it's enabled, ... ?
