Merge tag 'irq-urgent-2020-07-19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip into master

Pull irq fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Two fixes for the interrupt subsystem:

   - Make the handling of the firmware node consistent and do not free
     the node after the domain has been created successfully. The core
     code stores a pointer to it which can lead to a use after free or
     double free.

     This used to "work" because the pointer was not stored when the
     initial code was written, but at some point later it was required
     to store it. Of course nobody noticed that the existing users break
     that way.

   - Handle affinity setting on inactive interrupts correctly when
     hierarchical irq domains are enabled.

     When interrupts are inactive with the modern hierarchical irqdomain
     design, the interrupt chips are not necessarily in a state where
     affinity changes can be handled. The legacy irq chip design allowed
     this because interrupts are immediately fully initialized at
     allocation time. X86 has a hacky workaround for this, but other
     implementations do not.

     This cased malfunction on GIC-V3. Instead of playing whack a mole
     to find all affected drivers, change the core code to store the
     requested affinity setting and then establish it when the interrupt
     is allocated, which makes the X86 hack go away"
