Uh ...

If siu_reg is NULL, you get a serious problem when __do_irq() calls 
mpc8xx_get_irq()

unsigned int mpc8xx_get_irq(void)
{
	int irq;

	/* For MPC8xx, read the SIVEC register and shift the bits down
	 * to get the irq number.
	 */
	irq = in_be32(&siu_reg->sc_sivec) >> 26;

	if (irq == PIC_VEC_SPURRIOUS)
		return 0;

         return irq_linear_revmap(mpc8xx_pic_host, irq);

}


So I'll leave siu_reg as is even if irq_domain_add_linear() fails.

Whatever, if we do something about that it should be done in another 
patch I think.
