Thanks for taking the time to look at my questions :)
I have been debugging this thing whole day today, without getting too 
far :) It seems there is something beyond the name collision though.

After I tried adding '-1' to the end of the other domain name to avoid 
the debugfs name collision I managed to do couple of successful runs - 
after which I reported here that problem seems to be just the naming. 
Soon after sending that mail I hit the oops again even though the naming 
was fixed.

Further debugging shows that the desc->action->name for the last 28 
'errb' IRQs get corrupted. This might point more to the IRQ requester 
side - so I need to further study the BD96801 driver side as well as the 
regulator_irq_helper. I'm having the creeping feeling that at the end of 
the day I need to find the guilty one from the mirror :)

But yes, creating 2 regmap-IRQ controllers for one device seems to 
generate naming conflict in the debugfs - so unless I'm mistaken, with 
the current regmap-IRQ we can't have more than 1 regmap-IRQ entity for a 
single device.

Just please give me some more time to see if I find the cause of the 
corruption and I hope I can write more concrete description. For now it 
was enough for me to hear having more than 1 IRQ domain / device is not 
something on the "DON'T DO THIS" -list.

Yours,
	-- Matti
