This was wrong guessing.

After my latest findings, yes, I think so. How to do this correctly is 
beyond me though. The __irq_domain_create() seems to me that the name is 
meant to be the dt-node name when the controller is backed by a real 
dt-node. Naming of the irq_domain_alloc_named_fwnode() sounds to me like 
it is only intended to be used when there is no real fwnode. All 
suggestions appreciated. Using the:
irq_domain_update_bus_token(intb_domain, DOMAIN_BUS_WIRED);
feels like a dirty hack, and won't scale if there is more HWIRQs.

I was not wrong on this one. The regulator_irq_helper() duplicates 
memory for the data given in  const struct regulator_irq_desc *d - but 
it does not duplicate the irq name pointed from the given 
regulator_irq_desc. Nor does the request_threaded_irq(). I passed some 
of the IRQ names from the stack in the BD96801 driver ... a bug I 
should've caught earlier.

Well, good thing is that now I can fix the regulator_irq_helper() to do:

--- a/drivers/regulator/irq_helpers.c
+++ b/drivers/regulator/irq_helpers.c
@@ -352,6 +352,9 @@ void *regulator_irq_helper(struct device *dev,

         h->irq = irq;
         h->desc = *d;
+       h->desc.name = devm_kstrdup(dev, d->name, GFP_KERNEL);
+       if (!h->desc.name)
+               return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);

         ret = init_rdev_state(dev, h, rdev, common_errs, per_rdev_errs,
                               rdev_amount);

I'll send a patch if this sounds like a correct thing to do.
