The of_irq_init function stops processing the interrupt controller hierarchy when there are no more interrupt controller parents identified. Though this condition suffices most cases, there are cases where a interrupt controller's parent controller does not participate in the initialization of the interrupt hierarchy. An example of such a case is the use of a interrupt nexus node by a interrupt controller node which delivers interrupts to separate interrupt parent controllers. Instead of stopping the processing of interrupt controller hierarchy in such a case, the orphan interrupt controller node's descriptor can be identified and its 'logical' parent in the descriptor is set as NULL. The processing of interrupt hierarchy is then restarted by looking for descriptors which have a NULL interrupt parent.
