Subject: [PATCH 3.17 074/122] of/irq: Drop obsolete interrupts vs interrupts-extended text

3.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@...gle.com>

commit 66865de4314caca30598244b86817e774c188afa upstream.

a9ecdc0fdc54 ("of/irq: Fix lookup to use 'interrupts-extended' property
first") updated the description to say that:

  - Both 'interrupts' and 'interrupts-extended' may be present
  - Software should prefer 'interrupts-extended'
  - Software that doesn't comprehend 'interrupts-extended' may use
    'interrupts'

But there is still a paragraph at the end that prohibits having both and
says 'interrupts' should be preferred.

Remove the contradictory text.
