OK cool. I think we can fix the $Subject bug first without making all
those changes, then do the rest of the reorg for v3.14.

The bug is that we try to populate IRQ resources at a wrong time
when they may not exist.

Based on a quick look it seems we could combine Thierry's addition
of the new function of_platform_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
and use that to allocate all resources at driver probe time like my
patch is doing. And then there's no need for the notifier.

Tony
