Right, from the times before we were using platform_device for probing
device tree based devices and they had to map the interrupt themselves.

Some of them like arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_pci.c seem fine, this one
is does not expect to ever destroy a device, and it only unmaps the
interrupt if request_irq fails. drivers/ata/pata_mpc52xx.c on the
other hand seems wrong in the same was as drivers/edac/mpc85xx_edac.c
and sound/soc/fsl/fsl_ssi.c.

All other drivers that call irq_of_parse_and_map and pass that into
devm_request_irq just never unmap, and their interrupts are already
mapped by the platform code, so I think it's not even a leak.
