This patch causes a build warning:

arch/arm/mach-footbridge/isa-irq.c:113:15: warning: unused variable 'irq' [-Wunused-variable]

because you introduce a new 'int irq' variable in a sub-block where the
parent already declares 'irq', causing the parent 'irq' to be unused.

Hence, I'm dropping this patch.

I think you need to look more carefully at the code you are modifying,
and maybe even build test it.  Cross compilers are available from
kernel.org.
