This is obviously exactly how we should do this.

However since it needs the devm* helpers from the irq
subsystem I can't apply them until the irqchip maintainers
merge or ack that patch.

If you want it in soon I suggest resending it with
non-memorymanaged accessors for the descs and later
make a separate patch to switch over to the devm_*
versions when/if it is accepted.

If you're not in a hurry, just wait :)

Yours,
