Why does this take a pointer to the irq rather than returning the irq
(as with irq_of_parse_and_map)?

This looks awfully generic. Are the timer interrupts encoded specially
or is this useful for parsing other interrupts?

s/CNTFREG/CNTFREQ/

This is probably worth a pr_err at least, the system is unlikely to get
very far if the timers don't work.

Thanks,
