of_device_alloc() in early boot stage creates a interrupt mapping if
there exists a "interrupts" property in the node.

For hierarchical interrupt domains using "interrupts" property in the 
node
bypassed the hierarchical setup and messed up the irq setup.

This patch adds a check in of_device_alloc() to skip interrupt mapping 
if
"not-interrupt-producer" property is present in the node. This allows
nodes to describe the interrupts using "interrupts" property.

Hi All,

Spawning from discussion [1], here is simple patch (not the ideal 
probably
welcome for suggestions) from stopping the OF code from creating a map 
for
the interrupts when using "interrupts" property.

Cheers,
Prabhakar

I don't think this is right. If anything, the expected behaviour should 
be
indicated by the driver and not the device node.

The root of the issue is that all the resource allocation is done 
upfront,
way before we even have a driver that could potentially deal with this
device. This is a potential waste of resource, and it triggers the
issue you noticed.

If you delay the resource allocation until there is an actual match with 
a
driver, you could have a per-driver flag telling you whether the IRQ
allocation should be performed before the probe() function is called.
