Hi Marcin

Thanks for adding these helpers. It makes the changes for ACPI much
less invasive and more natural.

Does the IRQ helper solve the issue of getting an interrupt from a
child node? I don't see this explicitly mentioned in the commit.  It
seems to be getting it from a device. Is the child a device?

Thanks
