Hi Suravee,
	I'm working on another patch set which will refine the way to
create irqdomain for MSI. I hope will solve all issues mentioned by
Thomas. I will post that patch set as RFC within one or two days.

We didn't trigger this warning on x86 because only the outer-most
irqdomain will set irq flow handler. On ARM, the inner GIC domain
will set irq flow handler, but the irq_data->chip for outer-most
domain hasn't been set yet.

I'm still find a way out here. Maybe we need to relax the WARN_ON().

Yes, the new patch set will address this requirement.

Good point, it's work on x86, but will break ARM or other platforms.
Will refine this part.
