I think this is a question for Thierry or Linus. I'm not sure why this
check was put in place in the code. I tried to dig into it really quick
but I didn't find anything obvious and then I gave up.

Maybe with hierarchical irqdomains we can drop this check? I don't think
the gpiolib core ever uses this 'default_type' or 'handler' for anything
once we replace the irqdomain that's used for a particular gpiochip with
a custom irqdomain. The only user I see, gpiochip_irq_map(), won't ever
be called so it really ends up being a thing that the driver specific
irqdomains should check for and reject when parsing the DT and it sees
IRQ_TYPE_NONE come out.
