And why you're at it, please turn this rather random 'of_data' into
something like:

diff --git a/drivers/irqchip/irq-sifive-plic.c b/drivers/irqchip/irq-sifive-plic.c
index bb87e4c3b88e..cd1683b77caf 100644

};

struct plic_handler {

to give some structure to the whole thing, because I'm pretty sure
we'll see more braindead implementations as time goes by.

It almost feels like I've written this whole patch. Oh wait...
