Thanks, fixes have been incorporated and will be reposted. Most of them
was obviously just my lack of diligence. See however the two below.

Right now it's guaranteed that the interrupts will not be shared. They're
fixed for the on-chip devices, and no other driver should be binding to
the same channels (and thus irqs).

If it changes in the future, the driver would need other rework as well.

No hotplug support at this time, so I didn't see any use in providing one.
