Nothing checks the return value of that function, so bad things will
still happen, only more confusing to debug.  If you really want to
"fix" this, you should either:

- Simply panic() like the other error cases.  If anything here fails,
  the system will not work anyway.

- Replace the panic() calls with error returns and check the return
  value in tangox_of_irq_init().  The system will still end up unusable.
