Not really. Like I said in my reply to Wolfram, a different set of
patches was merged subsequently to solve this issue for platform
devices, which makes my patchset mostly obsolete. But I think the
solution that you proposed would work well if you do:

- int irq = irq_of_parse_and_map(dev->of_node, 0);
+ int irq = of_irq_get(dev->of_node, 0);

And then changing irq_create_of_mapping() should no longer be necessary.
I still think it's kind of lame to handle -EPROBE_DEFER specially as was
done in of_irq_get(), but given how worried people were about the more
invasive changes needed to propagate the correct error code all the way
up it seems like that's as good as it's going to get.
