I was wondering: except for setting the nr_irq field this is pretty much what
irq_domain_add_simple() does. While I get that you need access to the domain
later on and cannot use the helper, I'm still wondering why the nr_irq field
is not initialized by irq_domain_add_simple().

I have a driver for a GPIO/IRQ expander that does exactly the same and was
always wondering why the irq_data.hwirq field isn't properly setup, and
irq_domain.nr_irq being 0 seems to be exactly the reason. So am I supposed to
not use irq_domain_add_simple() in this case or should we rather update the
helper to take a nr_irq parameter that can be used to initialize the nr_irq
field?
