Seems root cause of problem is hidden inside MFD ab8500-core.c :(
And it's related to simulations supporting of DT and non-DT devices.

For example:
----- Log file contains lines
[    0.919677] ab8500-debug ab8500-debug.0: First irq not found, err -22
[    0.926147] ab8500-debug: probe of ab8500-debug.0 failed with error -22

DT definition of ab8500-debug is specified as following (ste-dbx5x0.dtsi):
	ab8500-debugfs {
		compatible = "stericsson,ab8500-debug";
	};

In code ab8500-debug is created using mfd_add_devices() API which fills
device's resources manually, but, in same time, It links ab8500-debug device
to DT node because MFD cell has of_compatible property set to:
 		.of_compatible = "stericsson,ab8500-debug",


Problem: both new versions of APIs platform_get_irq_byname() and
platform_get_irq() will fail to get IRQ.


Another problem is:
[    1.038909] abx5x0-usb ab8500-usb.0: Link status irq not found
- looking on it now - it should work
