OK, can you explain why? Is the problem the difference between the two types of IRQ domain? I would have assumed this was an internal detail of the driver hence not an issue. I assume there's no issue with known/static IRQ numbers, since both 0 and -1 end up dynamically allocating the IRQ bases IIRC.

Hmmm. Perhaps that means regmap_add_irq_chips() should be split into two parts; one to create all the IRQ chips and hook everything together, and the second to actually enable the interrupt.
