[PATCH v7 4/4] gpio: mxc: fix race between gpiochip registration and IRQ domain setup

From: Peng Fan <peng.fan at nxp.com>

devm_gpiochip_add_data() makes the GPIO chip visible to consumers
immediately. Since the chip sets .to_irq = mxc_gpio_to_irq, which calls
irq_find_mapping(port->domain, offset), any to_irq() call between
gpiochip registration and IRQ domain creation will operate on a NULL
domain.

Fix by moving devm_gpiochip_add_data() after the IRQ domain and generic
irq chip are fully initialized, ensuring port->domain and the irq chip
handlers are ready before the chip becomes visible to consumers.

Fixes: d37a65bb4663 ("gpio/mxc: Move Freescale MXC gpio driver to drivers/gpio")
