Add a description for 'irq_create_of_mapping()' and make explicit the fact
that the resources allocated by this function can be freed by calling
'irq_dispose_mapping()' when needed (i.e. error handling path, remove
function, ...)

The wording can certainly be improved.
My goal is only to make clear if patches such as:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201214202117.146293-1-christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr/
are needed or not.

Start with upper case and use periods. Also next line should align.

Maybe "mapping is not" or "if the mappign is not". There could be lot
better wording formatting also but everyone would still understand. So
it is ok.

I think this deserves a bit more work. My immediate questions when
reading this are "map where? and to what?".

That's not strictly true. A of_phandle_args structure can be created
from scratch (and numerous drivers do that).

This really is a bit of documentation for irq_dispose_mapping(), isn't it?

Thanks,

Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.

I won't be of great help here.
I don't know this code enough to be able to provide an accurate description.

Well, I don't agree.
I think it is easier to see that some resources need to be freed with a
dedicated function if it is explained in the description of the function
which allocates the resource.
