[RFC PATCH] gpiolib: Move setting the flow handler and don't set it at all if there is a parent domain

From: Daniel Palmer
Date: Sat Oct 02 2021 - 12:20:22 EST


Calling irq_domain_set_info() before irq_domain_alloc_irqs_parent()
can cause a null pointer dereference as the parent domain isn't
ready yet.

Move irq_domain_set_info() to after irq_domain_alloc_irqs_parent().
A side effect of this is that irq_domain_set_info() will now overwrite
the flow handler from the parent domain. So if there is a parent
domain do not set the flow handler anymore.

This allows gpio-msc313.c to level it's irq domain on top of the
new irq controller in later SigmaStar SoCs without crashing.
