You have already added the needed empty devm_irq_dispose_mapping in 
include/linux/irqdomain.h.

Note that the IRQ_DOMAIN *can* be used under SPARC (GPIO_GRGPIO is one 
example that selects it), but it is not used at the top level so to 
speak. There should not be a SPARC specific empty version of 
devm_irq_dispose_mapping - CONF_IRQ_DOMAIN or not takes care of that.

The drivers that I know of off hand is not necessarily SPARC only. Some 
are currently only found in SPARC environments, but that could change in 
the future. I personally don't see a problem with using 
devm_of_parse_and_map solution as long as there is a SPARC-specific one 
as discussed above.
