And there is another reason to not use irq_set_chained_handler_and_data
and instead use devm_request_irq(). Armada XP has some interrupts
shared and it looks like that irq_set_chained_handler_and_data() API
does not handle shared interrupt sources too.

I can update commit message to mention also this fact.
