I think this is the best we can do, though ideally I'd like to have
seen errors due to not being provided by firmware passed through and
firmware bug issues (where it provides an irq we can't get for some reason
shouted about - with the driver failing to probe.)

Still, it's an improvement and for some FW old code wouldn't have
done this either. Hence let's go with this approach.
