It is actually two patches that cause the breakage. The other is:
   commit e55aeb6ba4e8cc3549bff1e75ea1d029324bce21
   of/irq: Mark interrupt controllers as populated before initialisation
I needed to revert both of these in order to get MMC working on our 71xx and
78xx boards. For our MMC, I got error messages from the MMC core of "Invalid
POWER GPIO" until I applied the second patch. I will have a fix worthy of
upstreaming today which will be posted today.

The below change works for me...

diff --git a/arch/mips/cavium-octeon/octeon-irq.c b/arch/mips/cavium-octeon/octeon-irq.c

This afaics wasn't merged and the discussion looks stalled. Was this
issue discussed elsewhere or even fixed in between? Just asking, because
this issue is on the list of regressions for 4.8.

There's a patch waiting to be merged in Linux MIPS patchwork:
