No, because:

	vic_init()
	  __vic_init() -> with NULL np pointer
	    vic_register()
	
So we won't have the device_node for the VIC.  I think I really need to 
convert the versatile stuff over to the full of_irq_init() method of 
probing, which isn't as bad as I thought as everything is populated from 
the DT there but it looked like it could be registered statically too 
from versatile_init().  I'll try and get everything going from the DT 
now.
