Hum yes, on second thought we probably need to depend on
CONFIG_REGMAP_IRQ here.

Yes, makes sense. As suggested by Andy Shevchenko, I will remove this
parameter as there is no user today: a way to retrieve it can be added
later if needed.

This was a request from Andy on my previous series.

Thanks for your review.
