An untested patch is unlikely to make a lot of forward progress, to
be honest.

The real question is *how* do you end-up in this situation.
To trigger this case, you need a mux interrupt that is handled by
imx_irqsteer_irq_handler(), but for which you haven't got a
translation from DT the first place. Do you see the chicken and egg
problem?
In summary, this driver is checking for conditions that can't possibly
happen, and this check should simply be deleted instead of being
blindly "fixed".
