Agreed. Besides the encoding of "base" irq values in the device tree is always
wrong, since the numbers are not at all a hardware property but an implementation
detail of how Linux currently uses interrupt numbers. When using DT probing,
you *have* to use IRQ domains, and the rest of Exynos does that.
