Why do we have a return value here? Especially the deactivate one
makes no sense at all.

And here.

We do not check it and we cannot do here AFAICT.

Ditto.

So the return value for irq_domain_deactivate_irq() is silly to begin
with, but also the return value for irq_domain_activate_irq() does not
really make sense. We've allocated the resources for the interrupt
already down the hierarchy chain. So there is no reason why the actual
activation should fail.
