Infact this and PATCH#10 should be merged. I will change that.

So in Socs's (2 so far) that do have a crossbar, some irqs are mapped
through a crossbar and some are directly wired to the irqchip.
These 'unused irqs' are those which are directly wired but they still
have a crossbar register. Their routing cannot be changed. So this
is not really expected usage of the crossbar hw ip. We initially thought
having a dts property separately for this, but took this path to avoid
loading the dts with additional bindings which may not be generic.

Sricharan
