Not as far as I can tell.
Nothing is broken, my only concern is that this occurs in a header file and thus the warning will pop up in random files which include this header.
| git grep "unsigned int nr_irqs" include/ arch/*/include | wc -l | 17 (and all static inline function which trigger the warning are from linux/irqdomain.h)
Time to time, I check the W=2 output and spam from the headers makes it annoying to triage. I absolutely do not care of shadowing everywhere else outside of the includes directory.

This is also feasible, but it will become a tree-wide patch. And I am quite certain that it will be NACKed right away, so I will not try this alternate solution.
