[PATCH v2 01/11] irqdomain: Relax failure path on setting up mappings

[Grant Likely]

Commit 98aa468e, "irqdomain: Support for static IRQ mapping and
association" introduced an API for directly associating blocks of hwirqs
to linux irqs. However, if any irq in that block failed to map (say if
the mapping functions returns an error because the irq is already
mapped) then the whole thing will fail and roll back. This is probably
too aggressive since there are valid reasons why a mapping may fail.
ie. Firmware may have a particular IRQ marked as unusable.

This patch drops the error path out of irq_domain_associate(). If a
mapping fails, then it is simply skipped. There is no reason to fail the
entire allocation.

v2: Still output an information message on failed mappings and make sure
    attempted mapping gets cleared out of the irq_data structure.
