Indeed.

You definitely did better than me :)

So the size of the domain is sum of the parameters @size and
@first_hwirq. That's so that the hardware interrupt is zero indexed for
an array based lookup.

The association obviously wants only the @size parameter because that's
what the caller wants interrupts for as it obviously can't provide
interrupts below @first_hwirq.

So that associate should be:

   irq_domain_associate_many(domain, info->virq_base, info->hwirq_base,
   			     info->size - info->hwirq_base);
