I think this needs to be:

	at91_aic_domain.of_node = of_node_get(np);

to keep the reference count.
Well, in fact the of_find_matching_node() function already indent the 
ref. count...

... That is why I added this comment ^^

But maybe for sake of clarity, I may have used what you propose anyway. 
What it your opinion?

I think it's preferred if you use of_irq_init() here as it can handle
the ordering of IRQ controllers.  There are GIC and VIC bindings in
-next that use this and provide a way for non-DT platforms to still use
the drivers.
which is the case here as if the of_init fail we failback to the non-dt init

and this IP is AT91 only
Right, but it's not using the of_irq_init() interface which is the
standard way of registering interrupt controllers and will correctly
dependencies for you.

So if you could have something like:

void __init __at91_aic_init(unsigned int priority[NR_AIC_IRQS],
			    void __iomem *regs,
			    struct device_node *np)
{
	/*
	 * Do all of the writes to the AIC itself and configure
	 * the IRQ domain.
	 */
}

void __init at91_aic_init(unsigned int priority[NR_AIC_IRQS])
{
	void __iomem *base = ioremap(AT91_AIC, 512);

	__at91_aic_init(priority, base, NULL);
}

int __init at91_aic_of_init(struct device_node *node,
			    struct device_node *parent)
{
	void __iomem *regs = of_iomap(node, 0);

	/*
	 * Get priorities from the DT.  If this was an array of cells
	 * then that should be okay.
	 */
	__at91_aic_init(dt_priorities, regs, node);
}

Then the DT based board initialisation can do:

static const struct of_device_id at91_irq_of_match[] __initconst = {
	{ .compatible = "atmel,at91-aic", .data = at91_aic_of_init },
	{}
};

static void __init at91_of_irq_init(void)
{
	of_irq_init(at91_of_irq_init);
}
That looks nice. I will try to implement this. I will try to figure out 
when of_irq_init() is called compared to the other init_IRQ() function.
Which is consistent with other platforms.  However this does require
that the priorities are encoded in the device-tree, but I guess that's a
good thing anyway isn't it?
That is a annoying point: I do not want to add all this "default" 
priority stuff in the DT. It is kind of useless until we use the 
threaded interrupts everywhere and may bloat the DT...

I will try to find a way to pass the default priority table to the DT 
called function.

Thanks for your review,
