Ok. So my test was wrong and irq_dispose_mapping() has to be called when 
irq is masked (for example just  after free_irq()). For sure in this 
case the mask inside exti free callback has no sens (catch :))

I will change .free callback by:

static void stm32_exti_free(struct irq_domain *d, unsigned int virq,
			    unsigned int nr_irqs)
{
	struct irq_data *data = irq_domain_get_irq_data(d, virq);
	irq_domain_reset_irq_data(data);
}


so if you agree I will resend only patches concerning stm32 exti driver 
[1],[2],[3],[4]

Thanks for your time.
