In order to probe PCIe host controller when booting with DT,
ARM64 is using drivers which defer IRQ assignment to device
enable time. It means that boot time DT specific irq map initialization
is always overridden, so lets remove that code.

How was this tested? Or in other words, what PCI devices that use
legacy INT{A,B,C,D} interrupts were used in testing this patch?


I used QEMU and e1000 NIC:

sudo ./qemu/aarch64-softmmu/qemu-system-aarch64 -smp 1 -m 1024 -M virt -cpu cortex-a57 -nographic -device e1000,netdev=net1,mac=52:54:00:12:34:56 -netdev type=tap,ifname=tun1,id=net1,script=no,downscript=no -drive file=qemu/ubuntu.img,id=root,if=none,format=raw -device virtio-blk-device,drive=root -kernel linux-aarch64/arch/arm64/boot/Image -append "console=ttyAMA0 earlycon=pl011,0x9000000 rw root=/dev/vda"
