If the driver is used on an ARM platform with SPARSE_IRQ defined,
semantics of NR_IRQS is different (minimal value of virtual irqs) and
by default it is set to 16, see arch/arm/include/asm/irq.h.
This value may be less than the actual number of virtual irqs, which
may break the driver initialization. The check removal allows to use
the driver on such a platform, and, if irq controller driver works
correctly, the check is not needed on legacy platforms.
Fixes a runtime problem:
lpc-eth 31060000.ethernet: error getting resources.
lpc_eth: lpc-eth: not found (-6).
