this breaks at least IP30 and guess it will break every platform where
MIPS_CPU_IRQ_BASE == 0. add_legacy will always do irq_domain_associate_many(),
while add_simple doesn't do it, if first_irq == 0.

Marc, what is the reason not doing it all the time ? What's the correct
way here to work with irq_domain_add_simple() in this case ?

Thomas.
