Well, I had suggested to pass in the parent struct device, but it could certainly use an irq_domain instead: platform_msi_assign_domain(dev, device_to_iommu(p_dev)->ir_domain); Or platform_msi_assign_domain(dev, pdev->msi_domain) ? Any maybe the natural expression is to add a version of platform_msi_create_device_domain() that accepts a parent irq_domain() and if the device doesn't already have a msi_domain then it creates one. Might be too tricky to manage lifetime of the new irq_domain though.. It feels cleaner to me if everything related to this is contained in the platform_msi and the driver using it. Not sure it makes sense to involve the iommu? Jason
