Drop the firmware related dt-bindings and use the hardware specified interrupt numbers within Interrupt Router. This ensures interrupt router

I didn't like this binding to begin with, but now you're breaking
compatibility.

Yes, I do agree that this change is breaking backward compatibility. But IMHO, this does cleanup of firmware specific properties from DT. Since this is not deployed out yet in the wild market, I took the leverage of breaking backward compatibility. Before accepting these changes from firmware team, I did
discuss[0] with Marc on this topic.

And I assume that should anyone complain about the kernel being broken because they have an old firmware, you'll be OK with the patches being
reverted, right?

I am assuming there is no one to complain as there is no product available yet with upstream kernel. Internally everyone is aware of the changes. So, yes I would agree with you to revert the changes if someone really needs it. :)

Any chance you can shower your blessings on this series :)

I have purposely ignored it just before and during the merge window. It is now firmly in my review queue.
