If I look at Documentation/core-api/irq/irq-domain.rst, I read this:

| Legacy
| ------
| 
| ::
| 
| 	irq_domain_add_simple()
| 	irq_domain_add_legacy()
| 	irq_domain_create_simple()
| 	irq_domain_create_legacy()
| 
| The Legacy mapping is a special case for drivers that already have a
| range of irq_descs allocated for the hwirqs.  It is used when the
| driver cannot be immediately converted to use the linear mapping.  For
| example, many embedded system board support files use a set of #defines
| for IRQ numbers that are passed to struct device registrations.  In that
| case the Linux IRQ numbers cannot be dynamically assigned and the legacy
| mapping should be used.
| 
| As the name implies, the \*_legacy() functions are deprecated and only
| exist to ease the support of ancient platforms. No new users should be
| added. Same goes for the \*_simple() functions when their use results
| in the legacy behaviour.
| 
| The legacy map assumes a contiguous range of IRQ numbers has already
| been allocated for the controller and that the IRQ number can be
| calculated by adding a fixed offset to the hwirq number, and
| visa-versa.  The disadvantage is that it requires the interrupt
| controller to manage IRQ allocations and it requires an irq_desc to be
| allocated for every hwirq, even if it is unused.
| 
| The legacy map should only be used if fixed IRQ mappings must be
| supported.  For example, ISA controllers would use the legacy map for
| mapping Linux IRQs 0-15 so that existing ISA drivers get the correct IRQ
| numbers.
| 
| Most users of legacy mappings should use irq_domain_add_simple() or
| irq_domain_create_simple() which will use a legacy domain only if an IRQ range
| is supplied by the system and will otherwise use a linear domain mapping.
| The semantics of this call are such that if an IRQ range is specified then
| descriptors will be allocated on-the-fly for it, and if no range is
| specified it will fall through to irq_domain_add_linear() or
| irq_domain_create_linear() which means *no* irq descriptors will be allocated.

I think you should be absolutely fine with using irq_domain_add_linear().

I think the error path is a bit shaky. Since request_threaded_irq() is
not the devres variant (devm_request_threaded_irq()), there should be a
free_irq() call on error.
