Thanks, didn't know that.

would doing:

+	if (WARN_ON(d->hwirq_max && intspec[0] > d->hwirq_max))
+		return -EINVAL;

be acceptable?

I thought the core was probably the only place to do this, I didn't
think the DT code would know about the hardware capabilities of the
DT controller.

It seems bad that some corrupted data can just crash the kernel in
a non-recoverable and early way that requires some specific debug
features like early-printk enabled. Would anyone else have a way of
fixing this?
