Sure.  What I'm saying is that it's probably going to be easier all
round if you run through all the init except actually calling
request_threaded_irq() (and unmasking the external interrupt if you have
control of that) - that way the interrupt numbers for the interrupts on
the PMIC can always be requested, even if they can't actually occur.
Only child drivers that *really* need the interrupts to happen will need
to have conditional code.
