I had an empty version originally and removed it based on Grant's review...

The original intent was this call should be in a DT board file and
therefore always enabled. Perhaps you can split tegra_init_irq into 2
functions with one having all but gic_init and then call that function
from board-dt.c along with of_irq_init.
