Thanks for that. This resolves to:

	if (irq_domain_is_ipi_per_cpu(data->domain)) {

data->domain is NULL, and we probably are using freed memory...

No worries. This IRQ series has uncovered a number of terrible driver
behaviours since I merged it, and these bugs are worth every penny.

Awesome. I'll Cc you on the actual patch, feel free to respond with a
Tested-by: if you want.

Thanks,
