This adds the irq crossbar device node.

There is a IRQ crossbar device in the soc, which
maps the irq requests from the peripherals to the
mpu interrupt controller's inputs. The Peripheral irq
requests are connected to only one crossbar
input and the output of the crossbar is connected to only one
controller's input line. The crossbar device is used to map
a peripheral input to a free mpu's interrupt controller line.

shouldn't this be "status = disabled"; so that boards enable this
on-demand ??
It cannot be and does not need to be. crossbar is an SoC feature. by
defining crossbar, the IRQ numbers we provide in DTS now becomes
crossbar numbers which get mapped to GIC interrupt numbers dynamically.

further crossbar is not a board feature. it is as ingrained in DRA7
behavior as GIC is. we are fortunate that we have some default mapping
of crossbar that allows the current peripherals to work, with this
support, we dont have to depend any longer on "we are lucky that is
mapped".

That said, in hindsight, patch #1 and 2 should be squashed IMHO. else
we have a bisectability problem here.
