I used Gemini to update zh_CN/core-api/irq/irq-domain.rst too. Hopefully
the result is correct -- I really cannot read/write Chinese ("CHINESE
DOCUMENTATION" maintainers CCed).

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?

Yes, that happened in v2.
