The driver creates the mapping by calling irq_of_parse_and_map(), so it also 
has to dispose the mapping. But the easy way out is to simply use 
platform_get_irq() instead of irq_of_parse_map(). In this case the mapping 
is not managed by the device but by the of core, so the device has not to 
dispose the mapping.
