My view is that the code should be logically consistent.  If the
error path should never happen, then we can ignore the return value
and not try to do any cleanup.  But if we are going to treat the error
as possible and have cleanup code, then the cleanup code should be
correct.   It looks like the GIC irqchip drivers follow your approach and
assume irq_domain_set_hwirq_and_chip() never fails, so they don't
check the return value.  I would be OK with that approach here.
