The binding incorrectly specified the "interrupt-map" property should be
used, although the use is non-standard. A quirk had to be introduced in
commit de4adddcbcc2 ("of/irq: Add a quirk for controllers with their own
definition of interrupt-map") to allow the driver to function again.That's too late. We have released a kernel with this binding, and it will live on forever until we totally remove the platform from the tree. DT is an ABI, and only time travel can fix this blunder.
