Hi Prabhakar,

Thanks for the patch.

As Sergei mentioned, the platform device is already passed to the function as
an argument.

A quick look at board code shows that each IRQ resource contains a single IRQ.
The second loop could thus be removed. You could also add another patch to
perform similar cleanup for the probe code.
