The OF IRQ logic was refactored a while back, and it appears that it
broke the case where a device doesn't have an interrupt-map
(legacy/ISA platform peripherals). In particular on the older pSeries
platforms the console serial port (keyboard/etc) is attached via a
Winbond super I/O controller. With the refactored logic
of_irq_parse_raw() returns with the out_irq->np pointing at the bus,
rather than the interrupt controller. This results in the platform
logic getting confused about the appropriate interrupt host, and in
ics_rtas_host_match() it doesn't match "chrp,iic" and the xics takes
over and tries to use RTAS to map the interrupt. RTAS then crashes the
machine.
This tweaks the "-> no map, getting parent" behavior to behave as
before, and the machine boots.
