I'm not sure I understand why this driver will probe on multi-platform kernels
if the compatible string isn't in the DT?

The last two lines of the driver already specify the compatible strings.

"
IRQCHIP_DECLARE(xilinx_intc_xps, "xlnx,xps-intc-1.00.a", xilinx_intc_of_init);
IRQCHIP_DECLARE(xilinx_intc_opb, "xlnx,opb-intc-1.00.c", xilinx_intc_of_init);
"

I'll elaborate on the commit message.

The DT node in arch/powerpc for this driver is

intc_0: interrupt-controller@81800000 {
			#interrupt-cells = <0x2>;
			compatible = "xlnx,xps-intc-1.00.a";
			interrupt-controller ;
			reg = < 0x81800000 0x10000 >;
			xlnx,num-intr-inputs = <0xc>;
		} ;

The DT node in arch/microblaze for this driver is

intc_0: interrupt-controller@81800000 {
			#interrupt-cells = <0x2>;
			compatible = "xlnx,xps-intc-1.00.a";
			interrupt-controller ;
			reg = < 0x81800000 0x10000 >;
			xlnx,kind-of-intr = <0x100>;	//<Missing from ppc>!
			xlnx,num-intr-inputs = <0x9>;
		} ;

The PPC driver assumes the kind-of-intr value be 0x0 and doesn't specify it in DT.
This patch makes that a fall back case. Instead of completely error-ing out.
