The definition in v3.2.9/kernel/irq/irqdomain.c does nothing but says:

nothing yet; will be filled when support for dynamic allocation of
irq_descs is added to irq_domain

So it would seem better to keep the call.  On the other hand, the error 
handling code of this function seems to be a mess.  When the 
initialization of ata_irq fails, it just returns instead of cleaning up. 
Prior code goes to err.  On ther other hand, now that the devm cleanups 
are gone, it is the goto err, which is unnecessary.  I'll look at the code 
some more.
