In this case I don't think so: 
1) The code looks for the pnp id for the 8042 controllers and tries
  to fill the interrupt fields from OF/DT, but falls back to defaults 
  1 and 12 if it does not get them.

2) Then it tries to find device_type of 8042 or node name of 8042
  and returns success if it finds them, but in this case leaves
  the interrupt numbers at zero. Note that in this case the code does 
  not even attempt to get interrupt information from OF/DT, this looks
  like a fallback case where filling with defaults seems reasonable.
  Actually, it is not filling with defaults which seems wrong since
  the other case always provides interrupt information.
