This cannot be easily reverted due to a lot of code and fixes building
on top of it, and even if it could I guess it will also break device tree
use on these: git grep pl061 arch/arm/boot/dts

As DT mandates that the irqdomain be used, or it cannot translate
the IRQs as before this patch it uses an hard-coded base from
platform data. This is one of those odd drivers that don't need
one line of DT-specific code in it to work with device tree, yet
it works.

I guess what I have to do is take out the very board Russell has
and that I happen to have also and just get to the bottom of this
bug and fix it and test it.

A pointer to an "ideal" GPIO chip + irq_chip driver would be highly
appreciated ...
