Sorry, I though your patch was about CONFIG_USE_IRQ and its related
feature, as the subject and commit message both heavily refer to it
and mention CONFIG_SYS_DV_NOR_BOOT_CFG almost incidentally.

Since the issue is that CONFIG_SYS_DV_NOR_BOOT_CFG definition is broken
for three mainline targets, then then please repost a V2 of your
patch, with an amended commit message (and subject) which make it clear
that the problem is with CONFIG_SYS_DV_NOR_BOOT_CFG breaking these
boards, not with CONFIG_USE_IRQ which is unused anyway. I will then make
sure to apply your V2 patch ASAP as it is a bug fix.
