This whole _chrp_type thing, and having to do different things based
on the root-node model property, is really only a workaround for
older machines with inadequate device trees.  Decisions about things
like which interrupt controller driver(s) to instantiate should be
taken based on properties in the appropriate device-tree nodes, for
instance the model and compatible properties in the node(s) for the
interrupt controller(s).  In fact I'd like to get rid of _chrp_type
completely.

What is this going to do to other 52xx users?

Paul.
