Re: [PATCH 1/2] staging: fsl-mc: Allocate IRQ's before scanning DPRC objects

[Laurentiu Tudor <laurentiu.tudor@nxp.com>]

Hi Nipun,

Can you polish a bit this commit message? It doesn't seem to explain why 
this is needed.

Are you referring to dprc probing being deferred (do we ever do that?) 
or devices inside the dprc deferring the probe?

s/initalization/initialization

As a side node, after a cursory look i noticed that this total_irq_count 
parameter is used only for some sanity checks. I'm thinking of dropping 
it in a follow-up cleanup patch.
