That is obvious from the diff. Why do you need this?

Anything that is a platform device should use platform_get_irq. The
mapping is created by the core Also, of_irq_get() is preferred over
irq_of_parse_and_map() for new users as it has better error return
handling.

We don't ref count creating mappings, so this would break for any shared irq.
