.translate function already called once in  irq_domain_translate(),
I think we don't need call this fucntion one more time here.

I think,for a interrupt controller, msichip driver initialization maybe is too late
for some devices which connect to this irqchip if we use module_platform_driver.

So, how about use the arch_initcall to register the msichip driver?

Thanks!
