Hi Thomas,

Acked-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely at linaro.org>

But I have some comments below...

This is probably something that the irqdomain should be keeping track of
internally, but that's an issue for a separate patch series.

As discussed on IRC, should use onetwocell here for greater
compatibility with existing bindings.
