When an irqchip driver uses irq_domain_push_irq(), all irqs should be statically created by the irqchip. If a device tries to allocate an irq on-the-fly, irq_domain_alloc_irqs() is called. It allocates struct irq_data and invokes .alloc() hook passing fwspec as its argument. This is probably not what the irqchip expects (unless .alloc can call it recursively). This issue could happen when a device tries to get irq after irq_domain_create_hierarchy(), but before irq_domain_push_irq(). To avoid the race, add IRQ_DOMAIN_FLAG_NO_CREATE flag. This flag prevents devices from creating irqs. Devices are only allowed to get already existing irqs.
