Are you ok with this fwnode usage ? It is quite key to the rest
of this series and I would need to know in order to make progress
on it please.

Platform devices created out of IORT tables are not ACPI devices
(I could create fake ones as we do for FADT power button, I do not
see any particular reason to prefer that approach over this one) and
in order to identify the device through a fwnode_handle (that, as for
IRQCHIP is nothing but a token used for look-up) that's what I came
up with.

Any feedback on the rest of the series is very welcome and needed
too, thanks.

Lorenzo
