It is not so much that the interrupt doesn't have a handler, but that
the device (or one of the devices) is in some sort of interrupt frenzy,
and the driver is not able to handle this interrupt.

In such a case, Linux tries to mask this interrupt, which in your case
does exactly nothing. At this point, the system is dead.

Well, all the 8250 variants have some glue of some sort... And you
definitely should investigate what the issue is with this lock-up. You
don't even have to read this status register, BTH. The kernel will
happily iterate over the handlers for you.

It'd certainly be better to investigate the actual source of the problem.

By the way, what is this IRQ_TYPE_NONE here? From what I can read, it
can only be IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL...

irq_create mapping is (indirectly) called by the core code when parsing
the DT (of_platform_populate), so it is fairly pointless here. As for
the irq_set_*() call, it should be in a .map callback on the irqdomain
ops, so that it is configured on a per-irq basis (there is plenty of
existing code in the drivers/irqchip for you to have a look).

In general, we don't instantiate interrupts in the irqchip itself. It is
the core code duty to do so.
