For IRQs, it looks like Arnd's code was simply parsing the IRQ
specifier, and converting it to the Linux-internal number. The actual
request of the IRQ was presumably left to probe(). I think theren's no
issue here.

For DMA, it does look like Arnd's code was requesting it too, but that
should also be fine; as long as no transactions are actually issued
against that DMA slave channel, then the HW state shouldn't matter?
