Thank you very much for this series finally get merged.
But there is a question that has puzzled me for a long time so I want
to consult with you: Why exporting fwnode_handle in the driver is
acceptable but exporting irqdomain is not? In my opinion, exporting
irqdomain is more simple and direct because it can avoid
irq_find_matching_fwnode() in the consumer side.
