Then what are you suggesting instead? I don't see how my array map
lookup could fail other than returning a zero value, given its static
initialization. Check for a zero mask in rtd1195_mux_irq_domain_map()?
Then we wouldn't be able to use the mentioned WDOG_NMI. Add another
per-mux info field for which interrupts are valid to map?

Thanks,
Andreas
