IRQCHIP_DECLARE() isn't used here, because of two points:
- all consumers of this driver are initialized at module/driver_initcall time
so, we don't need it to be initialized so early
- Keystone 2 supports DT-only boot and IRQ resolution APIs support probe
deferring mechanism now, so we can solve properly any initialization
dependencies
if needed.

Thanks for your review - I'll update and re-send.
