This needs to be clarified (it's not and, but or), what about:

  Add device_irq_get_byname() to get an interrupt by name from either
  ACPI table or Device Tree whichever has it.

In the ACPI case this
allow us to

 * Linux IRQ number on success, or negative errno otherwise.

As per above.

Since we don't have device_irq_get() perhaps we don't need this one
right now (just open code it in the caller). This will satisfy
Rafael's request.
