of/irq: Refactor interrupt-map parsing
All the users of of_irq_parse_raw pass in a raw interrupt specifier from the device tree and expect it to be returned (possibly modified) in an of_phandle_args structure. However, the primary function of of_irq_parse_raw() is to check for translations due to the presence of one or more interrupt-map properties. The actual placing of the data into an of_phandle_args structure is trivial. If it is refactored to accept an of_phandle_args structure directly, then it becomes possible to consume of_phandle_args from other sources. This is important for an upcoming patch that allows a device to be connected to more than one interrupt parent. It also simplifies the code a bit. The biggest complication with this patch is that the old version works on the interrupt specifiers in __be32 form, but the of_phandle_args structure is intended to carry it in the cpu-native version. A bit of churn was required to make this work. In the end it results in tighter code, so the churn is worth it.
