Describing the first IRQ as read seems a bit confusing to me - do we read
it? And saying get or got seems hard to parse. So perhaps something like
this would be clearer?

... platform_get_irq() is called for the first IRQ (eth->irq[0]) but
it is never used.

Perhaps this comment belongs in the patch that adds support for named IRQs.

Maybe I am slow. But I had a bit of trouble parsing this.
Perhaps this is clearer?

        * devicetree and used for both RX and TX - it is shared.
	* On SoCs with non-shared IRQs the first entry is not used,
        * the second is for TX, and the third is for RX.
