Hmmm... I'm wondering why .irq_set_affinity is required.

static int setup_affinity(struct irq_desc *desc, struct cpumask *mask)
first calls __irq_can_set_affinity() to check whether
desc->irq_data.chip->irq_set_affinity) exists.

then calls irq_do_set_affinity(&desc->irq_data, mask, false);
which calls chip->irq_set_affinity(data, mask, force);
= msi_domain_set_affinity()
which calls parent->chip->irq_set_affinity() unconditionally.

Would it make sense to test that the callback is implemented
before calling it?
