It would not break compilation, but it would probably break ethernet
support
on those three platforms.
All 3 platforms pass some combination of IRQF_TRIGGER_LOW | IRQF_SHARED
when
registering these interrupts. The trigger flag isn't passed through
without
1 and IRQF_SHARED isn't specified without 2.
I expect register_irq would fail on these platforms without these flags?
