Currently, pcie-designware, pcie-rcar, pci-tegra drivers use irq chip_data to save the msi_chip pointer. They already call irq_set_chip_data() in their own MSI irq map functions. So irq_set_chip_data() in arch_setup_msi_irq() is useless.

As this means drivers don't have any reasonable other possibility to stuff things into this field, I think it would make sense to do the cleanup the other way around: keep the irq_set_chip_data arch_setup_msi_irq() and rip it out of the individual drivers.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.
Okay I see your point, so the cleanup done this way is okay. But then this still introduces a problem: arch_teardown_msi_irq() expects to find the msi_chip in the chip_data field, which is okay for all ARM PCI host drivers, but not for other arch MSI chips. You fix this by completely removing arch_teardown_msi_irq() at the end of the series, but this still has the potential to introduce issues for other arches than ARM within the series. So this patch should include a change to replace the line struct msi_chip *chip = irq_get_chip_data(irq); with something that doesn't rely on the msi_chip being in the irq chip_data field.
