Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 3 potential issue(s) to consider:

New issues:
- [High] Probe failure after dw_pcie_host_init() skips required dw_pcie_host_deinit() cleanup, causing a severe use-after-free and resource leak.
- [High] PCI host enumerated before INTx IRQ domain is created, causing downstream legacy interrupts to unconditionally fail.

Pre-existing issues:
- [High] Early SYS IRQ firing causes NULL pointer dereference in rockchip_pcie_rc_sys_irq_thread.

PCI: dw-rockchip: Move the INTx irq setup to probe and make it devm-managed

This commit moves the INTx IRQ domain creation and chained handler setup
into the probe function, managing their lifetimes with devres. This prevents
IRQ domain leaks and use-after-free issues during root port resets.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does the current driver initialization
order risk a NULL pointer dereference in rockchip_pcie_rc_sys_irq_thread()?

The SYS IRQ is requested with devm_request_threaded_irq() earlier in
rockchip_pcie_configure_rc(), before dw_pcie_host_init() is called.
If the IRQ fires immediately (for example, if the bootloader leaves a
pending link-down reset status), rockchip_pcie_rc_sys_irq_thread() will
iterate over pp->bridge->bus. However, pp->bridge is not allocated until
dw_pcie_host_init() runs, which would cause a crash.

[Severity: High]
If of_irq_get_byname() fails here, the function returns directly. Since
dw_pcie_host_init() has already successfully executed and registered the
PCI host bridge, does this path need to call dw_pcie_host_deinit() before
returning? 

Without explicit cleanup, devres will free the rockchip_pcie structure on
probe failure, while the PCI subsystem might still retain active references
to the host controller. Can this cause a use-after-free?

[Severity: High]
Since the INTx IRQ domain is now instantiated after dw_pcie_host_init()
has completed, will this cause legacy interrupts for downstream devices to
fail unconditionally?

The dw_pcie_host_init() call enumerates the PCI bus and probes downstream
devices. If those devices attempt to request legacy INTx interrupts during
their probe, the INTx IRQ domain will not exist yet.

[Severity: High]
Similarly to the above error path, returning here skips tearing down the
enumerated PCI host via dw_pcie_host_deinit(), which leaves dangling
references to the host structure.

[Severity: High]
This error path also skips dw_pcie_host_deinit(). Should all of these new
error returns be updated to properly unregister the PCI host?
