So the problem is:

The rework of the driver missed to move the call to set_handle_irq() into
asm9260_of_init(). As a consequence no interrupt entry point is installed and
no interrupts are delivered (or whatever the outcome is, crash, explode ...)

Solution is:

Install the interrupt entry handler.

Right?

And that wants a tag:

Fixes: nnnnnnnnnnnn ("irqchip/......")

So we can mark it for stable.

Thanks,
