It's trivial enough to translate the whole paragraph with Gemini or
google translate:

"irq_domain_add_linear() and irq_domain_create_linear() are
functionally equivalent, except for the first parameter: the former
accepts an Open Firmware-specific 'struct device_node', while the
latter accepts a more generic abstract 'struct fwnode_handle'."

which makes it obvious that it can be deleted completely, no?
