In $NEXT_KERNEL+1 irq_create_of_mapping will be replaced by common
infrastructure code after irq_domain is merged, so this will become
irrelevant anyway.

I'm a little concerned that the MIPS platforms are not sharing the
same DT init code.  This isn't really something that should need to be
customized per-platform.
