Thanks for your good suggestion!
I have two questions:

Question 1:

I found the ‘its_msi_preapare ' defined without static.
So,I guess you mean I can call this fucntion directly
from mbigen driver, right?
or I need make the code likes below and leave these code in ITS?

static struct mbigen_domain_ops its_mbigen_ops = {
+	.mbigen_prepare	= its_msi_prepare,
};

static struct mbigen_domain_info its_mbigen_domain_info = {
	.ops	= &its_mbigen_ops,
};

Question 2:

What's you opinion about the code above
Leave it in ITS or create the mbi irq domain in mbigen driver?
If I have to create mbi irq domain in mbigen driver,
I need a pointer of its domain.

For this problem, I think i can solve it by using its_nodes’
in mbigen driver *if*
[1] add a member " struct device_node *node" in 'struct its_node'
[2] in 'its_probe' function , add
	its->node = node;
[3] remove the static definition from  'static LIST_HEAD(its_nodes);'

How is you opinion?

Thansks again!
