On Tegra the PCI controller is in fact the interrupt controller for
MSIs. And looking at the code here it seems like the same would apply to
RCAR.

I'm also slightly confused as to why this would cause ->msi_check() to
fail. The default implementation (msi_domain_ops_check()) doesn't do
anything.

Also, how is passing in NULL instead of a valid struct device_node *
going to prevent an oops? Perhaps this is one of those reference count
imbalance bugs that have recently been showing up?
