This is the requirement from irq_domain_remove(). This is what we have 
in irq_domain_remove():
kernel/irq/irqdomain.c

/*
  * This routine is used to remove an irq domain. The caller must ensure
  * that all mappings within the domain have been disposed of prior to
  * use, depending on the revmap type.
  */
void irq_domain_remove(struct irq_domain *domain)


I am adding the API equivalent to regmap_irq_get_virq() to unmap virtual 
irq here.

That's exactlly we are trying to do, unmap interrupt in client level 
before destroying domain.
