I specified the register space to make it possible to connect the device tree entry with the core. After the cores are automatically discovered, bcma searches for entry core found, for an device tree entry with the same address space and uses the irq number from that entry. If there is a core defined in device tree which is not found by bcma it will just be ignored. If a core is not specified in device tree it will get registered, but it will not get an IRQ. This was the most stable way I came up with, I also thought about using the core number, like assign the this IRQ to core number 5, but the core numbers could change when we do changes to bcma. In the Broadcom vendor code there is a list with the IRQ numbers which get assigned to a specific core type. For example there is a list with 4 IRQ numbers which get assigned to the first 4 Ethernet cores. This would also work, but I do not know how to do this in device tree.
