I think I understand what you are fixing, but I sadly don't understand
the commit message. Here's what I suggest as a commit message:

<commit>
When using a NOMAP domain, __irq_resolve_mapping() doesn't store the
Linux IRQ number at the address optionally provided by the caller.

While this isn't a huge deal (the returned value is guaranteed to the
hwirq that was passed as a parameter), let's honour the letter of the
API by writing the expected value.
</commit>

Does this match what you expected?

Thanks,

M.
