That works since we free it and the following devm_irq_release would
bail out early. But I know sure if it is the real intention of  the
devm_  irq stuff,  although devm_free_irq should be called to free the
IRQ separately if we want. At least that is so explicit that folks will
know that, as more from the top view, it seems only a little drivers
there call devm_free_irq for this case by looking into some more
drivers(Still no any PCIe drivers do that).

Not sure if their systems are robust enough that could access the
register w/o clk, even without power domain enabled.
