That's exactly what I was trying to avoid. If you want to do that, do
it in the IRQCHIP_ACPI_DECLARE macro, as there is strictly no need for
this this NULL to appear here (MADT always matches by subtable).
Or even better, have two ACPI_DECLARE* that populate the probe entry in
a mutually exclusive way (either probe_table is set and both
valid/subtbl are NULL, or probe_table is NULL and the two other fields
are set).
Thanks,
