No, please no.  Do NOT do this, it will break and not work well over
time, if it even works at all right now you are lucky.  Odds are, when
you reboot, it will not as irq numbers are never guaranteed to be the
same across boots.

Again, use the irq number given to you by your platform device bus.  It
should be much simpler than "iterate over all irqs and guess which one
we want to take" like you did here.

good luck!
