Otherwise this relies on some other driver to select GENERIC_IRQ_CHIP...

You want to use generic_handle_demux_domain_irq(), which allows you to
actually implement affinity settings for individual interrupts.

No line break required. You have 100 characters. All over the place.

What does that mean and why is this platform device driver dealing with
a PCI device in the first place?

This really wants proper comments explaining this in the source _and_
the change log of this patch. And no, your sloppy cover letter
explanation does not cut it at all.

Struct is uninitialized.

Ditto. Look at other drivers how this is done correctly.

See bracket rules in the documentation I linked to or simply get rid of
that line break. Same all over the place.

Both initializations (except for info.host_data) can be done at the
declaration with a static initialization, which avoids that parts of the
structs contain random stack content. No?

Please look through the sashiko comments as well.
