Sry, but this make no sense - those IRQ configuration is static,
so it should be defined in arch/arm/boot/dts/tps65217.dtsi at least.
But, again, it also not required, because it is strictly static for 
this particular device and so defined in code.
And  platform_get_irq_byname() should perfectly work with mfd_add_devices().

Also not that  tps65217.dtsi included in below files, but 

./arch/arm/boot/dts/am335x-bone-common.dtsi:/include/ "tps65217.dtsi"
./arch/arm/boot/dts/am335x-chilisom.dtsi:/include/ "tps65217.dtsi"
./arch/arm/boot/dts/am335x-nano.dts:#include "tps65217.dtsi"
./arch/arm/boot/dts/am335x-pepper.dts:/include/ "tps65217.dtsi"
./arch/arm/boot/dts/am335x-sl50.dts:#include "tps65217.dtsi"

but IRQs defined only in
./arch/arm/boot/dts/am335x-bone-common.dtsi:		interrupt-names = "USB", "AC";
./arch/arm/boot/dts/am335x-chiliboard.dts:		interrupt-names = "USB", "AC";

So how are other boards working?

I can't find links on corresponding discussions, but mfd_add_devices() is
preferred for MDF devices. Below is one commit i've found. Also you can compare number of
drivers using mfd_add_devices() and of_platform_populate().


regarding your problem - I think, It might be reasonable from your side to propose change to
mfd_add_device() which will take into account 'status = "disabled";' DT property.

commit 4531156db726d27e593d35800d43c74be4e393b9

    mfd: tps65218: Use mfd_add_devices instead of of_platform_populate
    
    mfd_add_devices enables parsing device tree nodes without compatibles
    for regulators and gpio modules. Replace of_platform_populate with
    mfd_add_devices. mfd_cell currently is populated with regulators,
    gpio and powerbutton.
