In order to build drivers/irqchip/irq-bcm7120-l2.c as a module, we will
need to have of_irq_count() exported to modules.

Please convert to use platform_irq_count() instead.
That requires a platform_device to be passed to platform_irq_count(),
will that work even when the drivers remain built into the kernel and
get initialized early on?
No, does your irqchip using this do both? Looks to me like it is
always a platform_device.
On ARM/ARM64 not using GKI as well as MIPS, we would want the module to
be built into the kernel image, however when using GKI that driver would
become a module. How do you suggest reconciling both usages?
