Does it work? I haven't looked in detail but I worry that the child
irqdomain (i.e. pinctrl-msm) would need to delay probing until this
parent irqdomain is registered. Or has the hierarchical irqdomain code
been updated to handle the parent child relationship and wait for things
to probe or be loaded?
