I agreed that this is the appropriate place to free the collection
mapping (act as the counterpart of the allocation which happened in
its_create_device).  But as pointed out by Heyi [1], this will
introduce a double free issue.  We'd better also drop the kfree()
in its_irq_domain_free() in this patch?

(I find that it had been dropped in the last patch in your
irq/gic-5.5-wip branch, but maybe better here.)
