Thanks Thomas for this clarification (I'm sure now that we need .free 
callbacks).
irq_domain_free_irqs() is called in 2 scenario:
1- when issue occurs in irq_create_fwspec_mapping()
2- when irq_dispose_mapping() is called

Case 2 is the one I tested some times ago. In this case, I need to mask 
interrupts in .free callback of EXTI (parent) domain to avoid spurious 
interrupts.

Alex
