Subject: [PATCH v4 4/5] ARM: mmp: replace setup_irq() by request_irq()

request_irq() is preferred over setup_irq(). Invocations of setup_irq()
occur after memory allocators are ready.

Per tglx[1], setup_irq() existed in olden days when allocators were not
ready by the time early interrupts were initialized.

Hence replace setup_irq() by request_irq().

v4:
 * Add received tags

v3:
 * Split out from series, also split out from ARM patch to subarch level
	as Thomas suggested to take it thr' respective maintainers
 * Modify string displayed in case of error as suggested by Thomas
 * Re-arrange code as required to improve readability
 * Remove irrelevant parts from commit message & improve
 
v2:
 * Replace pr_err("request_irq() on %s failed" by
           pr_err("%s: request_irq() failed"
 * Commit message massage
