Subject: [PATCH] [POWERPC] Remove interrupt-controller as a property under
/chosen
Remove interrupt-controller as a valid property under /chosen in
the documentation. There is a consensus that an
interrupt-controller property does not belong under /chosen.
/chosen is specifically for dynamic properties set at runtime.
