Hi Lucas, thanks for your review and comments!
irq_set_chip_data() should not be placed in MSI core functions, because other arch like x86,
use irq_data->chip_data to stores irq_cfg. So how to set the chip_data is arch dependent.
And this series is mainly to use MSI chip framework in all platforms.
Currently, only ARM platform MSI drivers use the chip_data to store msi_chip, and the drivers call
irq_set_chip_data() in their driver already. So I thought we should clean up it in MSI core code.

Thanks!
Yijing.
