This is broken, really. On multiplatform kernels this will try to probe the
chip no matter what.
 
Powerpc already has:

static const struct of_device_id xilinx_intc_match[] __initconst = {
       { .compatible = "xlnx,opb-intc-1.00.c", },
       { .compatible = "xlnx,xps-intc-1.00.a", },
       {}
};

Unless I'm missing something important, then adding those compatible
strings to the driver will just keep stuff working as expected instead of
adding unsafe and broken heuristics.

Thanks,
