The SEAD-3 board may be configured with or without a MIPS Global
Interrupt Controller (GIC). Because of this we have a device tree with a
default case of a GIC present, and code to fixup the device tree based
upon a configuration register that indicates the presence of the GIC.
In order to keep this DT fixup code simple, the interrupt-parent
property was specified at the root node of the SEAD-3 DT, allowing the
fixup code to simply change this property to the phandle of the CPU
interrupt controller if a GIC is not present & affect all
interrupt-using devices at once. This however causes a problem if we do
have a GIC & the device tree is used as-is, because the interrupt-parent
property of the root node applies to the CPU interrupt controller node.
This causes a cycle when of_irq_init() attempts to probe interrupt
controllers in order and boots fail due to a lack of configured
interrupts, with this message printed on the kernel console:
[ 0.000000] OF: of_irq_init: children remain, but no parents
Fix this by removing the interrupt-parent property from the DT root node
& instead setting it for each device which uses interrupts, ensuring
that the CPU interrupt controller node has no interrupt-parent &
allowing of_irq_init() to identify it as the root interrupt controller.
