IRQ_DOMAIN is a hidden (not user visible) symbol. Users cannot set it directly thru "make *config", so drivers should select it instead of depending on it if they need it. Relying on it being set for a dependency is risky. Consistently using "select" or "depends on" can also help reduce Kconfig circular dependency issues. Therefore, change OF_IRQ's use of "depends on" to "select". This patch reduces one Kconfig circular dependency in drivers/mux/Kconfig when MUX_MMIO attempts to select REGMAP (a failed patch), which that driver needs (but does not completely resolve that issue).
