Sure, because orion5x is slow-going.  There aren't that many users.
Since we prefer tested patches, we need to grab the opportunity when it
comes a long.  It could be another year or more before we see more
patches for orion5x.  Fully converting orion5x to DT doesn't have a
schedule, it's as we encounter devs willing to post patches for their
boards.

The opportunity here is that you were just booting a legacy board file
on an orion5x SoC.  Therefore, you're in the best position to write/test
the irq change.

thx,

Jason.
