7.3-rc1 is free of calls to irq_domain_add_linear(), so it can be
deleted at last.

According to Dongliang Mu, the paragraph in the Chinese docs is now
obsolete. So drop it completely.

The very same patch just with "[patch V2]" was sent by you _one_ second
before this one.

tl;dr You can ignore '[PATCH]' and look at '[PATCH v2]' only. Do you 
want me to send v3 properly?

I omitted `-1` to `git send-email` when sending 
`./v2-0001-irqdomain-Delete-irq_domain_add_linear.patch`. So it sent 
both '[PATCH]' and '[PATCH v2]'. With the same content.

thanks,
