DT-enabled Marvell Kirkwood and Dove SoCs make use of an irqchip
driver. As expected for irqchip drivers, it uses a C-style
interrupt handler and therefore selects MULTI_IRQ_HANDLER.

Now, compiling a kernel with both non-DT and DT support enabled,
selecting MULTI_IRQ_HANDLER will break ASM irq handler used by
non-DT boards.

Therefore, we provide a C-style irq handler even for non-DT boards,
if MULTI_IRQ_HANDLER is set. By installing the C-style irq handler
in orion_irq_init this is transparent to all non-DT board files.

While the regression report was filed on Marvell Kirkwood, also
Marvell Dove non-DT boards are affected and fixed by this patch.

Compared to the two patch version sent on Ian's regression report,
I cooked this down to a single patch only touching plat-orion/irq.c.
I also dropped Orion5x and MV78x00, as they not yet select MULTI_IRQ_HANDLER
at all. Instead I added a comment about taking care of them, as soon as
they move over to an irqchip driver themselves.

I have not yet Cc'ed this patch to -stable to get some discussion and
an Acked-by from Jason or Andrew, too.

Applied to mvebu/fixes with Andrew's Ack. It's too late for v3.13, so
it'll be the first thing sent for v3.14.

Please can it also be tagged for stable backport to 3.12+3.13.

Yes, I forgot to mention it, but that is already done. ;-)

Ok, thanks!

Out of curiosity, does that adding the Cc tag to the commit queue
it automatically as soon as it will be pulled by Linus?

@Ian: Thanks for hunting this down, please keep bothering us with
bug reports :)
