Oh right. That.

Looking at this some more, I think it should work, but not for very
good reasons.. irq_of_parse_and_map will return 0 on dove. It returns
0 because it is going through its error paths because it saw a 0 deep
inside, but it still returns 0.

orion_bridge_irq_init will work with 0 as a bridge_irq, we know this
because the timer code was using those code paths for a long time

It looks like it is straightforward to adjust Dove's
get_irqnr_and_base to add 1 to all the interrupt numbers, adjust
irqs.h to add 1, and adjust the irq setup. There would be no
performance penalty to doing this, but testing would be need to be
sure 100% of changes were made. If the above works it would be better
to do that sort of change after, or maybe after the non-DT code is
purged...

Kirkwood is already OK WRT the 0 IRQ, it is handled internally to
get_irqnr_and_base.

So, I will suggest to please test on dove as-is...

Did the other patches look OK?

I threw together an interrupt panic patch for the wdt, and that works
OK as well, so the kirkwood configuration is tested with this
series.

116:    4995890  orion_bridge  orion_tick
117:          0  orion_bridge  orion_wdt

Thanks,
Jason
