I mentioned drivers/acpi/acpi_apd.c because is in a way "similar" to
what you need but it is not exactly what's needed (I am not sure what
"devices" acpi_apd.c is meant to manage at the moment but certainly not
MSI controllers). In your callback from ACPI code you can't add a scan
handler - you have to get the ACPI device corresponding to the MSI
controller and register the IRQ domain fwnode.

Honestly it is hackish but that's the only approach that is robust
enough to always work (ie it does not depend on ACPI tables nodes order
and it does not depend on kernel link order).
