Looks good overall, I just have a few comments/questions:

Would that mean a broken firmware, or something else I'm missing ?
It looks odd.

What is the benefit of those wrappers since you're probably not going to get
rid of the SCU IPC APIs, right ? What's wrong with the subdevices using the
SCU IPC API directly ?

The 2 routines above make more sense.

I would expect some sort of warning here since it would mean your platform
code defined a sub device platform data without giving you the right IRQ. And
afaiu, all of your sub devices must have one.
