OK, I see. I'll remove it in v4.

I'm very sorry that I didn't check it carefully enough and troubled
many people for this problem.
This file included the asm/irq.h before I revised it for upstreaming,
I also could not find this file was no longer needed to include.
Thank you for your reminder, I'll avoid making the same mistake, and
I'll also share my experience with my colleagues to keep them from
having this mistake in the future.

Best regards,
Chunyan
