I've added a commit message and turned it into a patch to include in v6
now:

commit 3af395aa894c7df94ef2337e572e5e1710b4bbda (HEAD -> work)
Author: Marc Zyngier <maz@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Thu Feb 9 16:00:55 2023 +0000

    irqdomain: Fix domain registration race
    
    Hierarchical domains created using irq_domain_create_hierarchy() are
    currently added to the domain list before having been fully initialised.
    
    This specifically means that a racing allocation request might fail to
    allocate irq data for the inner domains of a hierarchy in case the
    parent domain pointer has not yet been set up.
    
    Note that this is not really any issue for irqchip drivers that are
    registered early via IRQCHIP_DECLARE() or IRQCHIP_ACPI_DECLARE(), but
    could potentially cause trouble with drivers that are registered later
    (e.g. when using IRQCHIP_PLATFORM_DRIVER_BEGIN(), gpiochip drivers,
    etc.).
    
    Fixes: afb7da83b9f4 ("irqdomain: Introduce helper function irq_domain_add_hierarchy()")
    Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx      # 3.19

Could you just give your SoB for the diff here so I can credit you as
author?

Turns out all of those drivers are registered early via
IRQCHIP_DECLARE() or IRQCHIP_ACPI_DECLARE() so there shouldn't really be
any risk of hitting this race for those.

I agree.

I'll post a v6 first thing Monday if you can give me that SoB before
then.
