To be honest, I was not 100% sure if this could be possible if we find
an existing mapping or if there were any paths that could race. So if we
can guarantee that it is not NULL here, I can drop this and simplify the
change.

By the way, is there any sort of reference count for mapping an IRQ so
that if irq_create_fwspec_mapping() is called more than once for an IRQ,
it is not freed on the first call to irq_dispose_mapping()? I assume
there is but could not see where this is handled.

Cheers
Jon
