It is quite a long time I have written this driver on v3.1 or 3.3.
But is this better?

	struct resource *res;
	int i = 0;
	do {
		res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_IRQ, i++);
		if (res)
			do something
	} while(res);

Also what about of_irq_to_resource()? Is it deprecated and all drivers
shouldn't use it?

I have no problem to rewrite the driver to use platform_get_resource.

Thanks,
Michal
