And I also referred to that one. The release callback, i.e. the type
of the parameter, is solely defined by a caller of devm_add_action()
end friends, and in this case it means that if ever the type changes
(this is your argument why you want to have explicit line for that,
necessity of which I oppose) the devm_add_action() arguments also has
to be changed, it can't be done _just_ there, in
irq_domain_free_fwnode().

OK.
