This is definitely a fix for "genirq: Provide generic hwirq allocation
facility", but the changelog doesn't describe what the problem is and the
title that this somehow fixes irq_free_descs() doesn't make any sense.

It's the equivalent of just doing

- irq_free_descs(from, cnt);
+ irq_free_descs(from, i - from);

I'd suggest the patch title be changed to

genirq: Fix memory leak when calling irq_free_hwirqs()

and the changelog state

irq_free_hwirqs() always calls irq_free_descs() with a cnt == 0 which
makes it a no-op since the interrupt count to free is decremented in
itself.

My mistake, I used the component from the commit I bisected the bug
down to.

Yes, I like your suggestion. Should I submit a v2, or will maintainer
replace the changelog?

It's an urgent patch since commit 7b6ef1262549 ("genirq: Provide generic
hwirq allocation facility") was already released in 3.15. Unless Thomas
fixes it up first, I'd reply with a v2 with the fixed title and changelog,
add a
