Yeah, I am not worried about the CPU time (although in interrupt
context, we always should), but rather about whether the code could be
simplified.

Ah, I think I get it. You want to be able to receive interrupts from
the same master, but not necessarily for the doorbell function.
Because of this you cannot use master_id as the index for the channel.
Am I understanding correctly?

Ok, but probe() is where resources should be acquired... and at the
very least DT properties be looked up. In this case there is no hard
requirement for doing it elsewhere.

Is this interrupt absolutely required? Or can we tolerate to not use
the doorbell service? In the first case, the driver should fail during
probe(), not sometime later. In the second case, you should still get
all the interrupts in probe(), then disable them if they are not
needed, and check in this function whether db_irq is a valid interrupt
number to decide whether or not we can use doorbell.

But you don't waste any resources by doing it preemptively in probe().
So let's keep related code in the same place.
