hello,

Thanks very much for analysis. And i have get the cause of the problem.

I will add pl011_allocate_multi_irqs/pl011_release_multi_irqs functions 
for amba drivers,

and call them in pl011_startup/pl011_shutdown respectively.


Reserved pl011_allocate_irq/pl011_release_irq functions for platform 
drivers.

Please help to confirm, is this ok?
