I'm not sure what you're asking.

Is this a bug report for the v4 tango driver?

Or are you asking whether msi_domain_set_affinity() should be changed
to check whether parent->chip->irq_set_affinity is implemented?

msi_domain_set_affinity() has called parent->chip->irq_set_affinity()
without checking since it was added in 2014 by f3cf8bb0d6c3 ("genirq: Add
generic msi irq domain support"), so if there's a problem here, it's most
likely in the tango code.
