Ok, I will post an updated patchset that adds sparc
devm_irq_of_parse_and_map() that just calls irq_of_parse_and_map(), and
devm_irq_dispose_mapping() that does nothing.

Also, you mentioned that some drivers that my original patchset touches
are sparc-only?  Then, maybe better not convert these to devm_? Could
you please give a list of such drivers?
