In addition to the "%p" to "%px" change in IRQ_DOMAIN_DEBUG you have
posted patch to remove it, my original patch includes several other
changes:
1. change to "%px" in kasprintf() parameters in
function __irq_domain_alloc_fwnode() to build name which reflects the
real pointer address from caller, this may be useful when reading debug
information.
 
n = kasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, "irqchip@%px", data);

2. other 3 changes from "%p" to "%px" in existing pr_debug().

Could I submit a V2 patch which depends on your "irqdomain: Kill
CONFIG_IRQ_DOMAIN_DEBUG" patch to handle this? 
Following is the link of your patch,
