[PATCH/RFC 0/2] of/irq: Fix root interrupt controller handling

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

	Hi all,

On ARM, the main interrupt controller is typically the GIC, and one can
safely put "interrupt-parent = <&gic>;" in the root node.  The GIC node
has an interrupts property, but it points to itself, causing
of_irq_init() to treat it as the root interrupt controller.

On RISC-V, the main interrupt controller is typically the PLIC.
However, one can not put "interrupt-parent = <&plic>;" in the root node,
as that would cause a kernel panic ("No interrupt controller found").
The main difference with ARM is that the PLIC is not the root interrupt
controller: its interrupt parent is the RISC-V CPU or Hart-Level
Interrupt Controller (HLIC).  The latter is the root interrupt
controller, and despite having no interrupts property, it is currently
not considered the root interrupt controller when an interrupt-parent
property is present in the root node.

This series fixes the issue in of_irq_init(), and moves the
"interrupt-parent = <&plic>;" for the RZ/Five (R9A07G043F) SoC from the
soc node to the top node, like was done recently for the very similar
RZ/G2UL (R9A07G043U) SoC[1].

Thanks for your comments!
