request_irq() is preferred over setup_irq(). Invocations of setup_irq()
occur after memory allocators are ready.

Per tglx[1], setup_irq() existed in olden days when allocators were not
ready by the time early interrupts were initialized.

Hence replace setup_irq() by request_irq().

This patch is seen in next-test branch for last 4-5 days, i don't know
exactly how powerpc workflow happens, so a question - this would be
appear in linux-next soon right ? (for last 4-5 days i had been daily
checking -next, but not appearing there).

Yeah it will appear in next "soon".

It's been stuck behind a big series that has hit some bugs during
testing, so that has delayed me pushing the whole branch.

Sorry for the query for this trivial patch, i am asking because Thomas
had mentioned [1] to get setup_irq() cleanup thr' respective
maintainers (earlier it was part of tree-wide series), check -next after
-rc6 & resubmit ignored ones to him, this patch is neither in -next,
neither ignored, so i am at a loss what to do :(

That's OK. I will take this one, you can stop worrying about it.

It should appear in next tomorrow or Friday.

cheers
